By default, your software creates a single database, in which you can create one or more companies ready to process. When you first install Sage 50 P11D and enter your activation details, there are two options:

• Create New Data
• Upgrade Existing Data

If you don't have existing data from a prior version to upgrade, you need to create a new P11D database.

Follow the steps below to get started and create your new database.

1. Open Sage 50 P11D v29.
2. Enter your activation details and click Next.
3. Select Create New data and click Next.
4. The default path for v29 is set automatically, if you need to amend it for example to a server, click Browse and browse to the required location.
5. Click Next, then Finish.

Your database is ready to log in to. The default username is Administrator, and there's no password. Click Login to log in.

 NOTE: We recommend you set up a password for the Administrator username straight away. For help to do this, visit our create and manage user names guide. 

You're ready to set up your company. Find out more in our set up your employer details guide.
