Registration & Payment

As part of the subscription transaction you will need to register your installation of Formulate2. The registration process requires that you fill out a registration form available within the software when it is running. Once completed, the contents of the registration form and the necessary installation identification information are saved as a file to your Windows desktop. Formulate2 will guide you through this process.

The registration file is then attached to an email addressed to cvnasoft@formulate2.com and emailed to Central Valley Nutritional Associates, LLC. When your registration file and payment are received, an Access Key will be configured and will be posted to our web server. The next time Formulate2 is started with an active internet connection the Access Key will be downloaded and processed automatically configuring your subscription period. If your internet access does not permit applications to download files your Access Key may also be delivered on a CD by mail . Documentation will be provided with the CD containing instructions about how to use the Access Key to configure access to your installation of the program. If required, maintenance updates may also be handled by physical CD.

Specific instructions about registering Formulate2 are contained in the Formulate2 Help System.
