The first run
The five steps that open SAHARA Core for the first time: licence or trial, the super-administrator, the recovery key and your first company.
The first time you open SAHARA Core on the server PC, it walks you through five steps: Licence → Super-administrator → Recovery key → First company → All set. Enter moves to the next field.
1. How will you use SAHARA?
- Start the free trial. Every feature, nothing capped. Each company you create can be written to for 120 days from its creation; reading, reports, printing, export and backup always work. See Licences, trial and Educational mode.
- I have a licence. Load the licence file SAHARA Labs sent you (Load the licence). No internet? Use Export a request file, send it to SAHARA Labs, and load the licence file you receive.
2. Super-administrator
Your full name and a username, and the password you chose in Setup. This proves you are the person who installed SAHARA Core.
3. Your recovery key
SAHARA Core shows a recovery key. It is the only way back in if the password is forgotten.
- Print it (Ctrl+P) or Save as a file (Ctrl+S).
- Tick I have printed or saved the recovery key.
- Type the key’s last group to confirm.
Keep it somewhere safe, away from the computer.
4. First company
Type the company name (Nepal · NPR) and choose Create company, or Later. You can create companies at any time from the Gateway: see Create your company.
5. All set
SAHARA is ready. Choose Open SAHARA.
