When Ice Ledger is started, you will be presented with the user login screen:
The login dialog title bar lists the Ice Ledger program version (1.0.1.162) and the ID of the Ice Ledger server (WEBS) that is selected (see Server, below).
In the login dialog title, there is a small help icon on the right-hand side that will take you to this online help page.
There is a small information icon in the top left-hand side, just below the login screen title, that you can use to view pertinent details about your installation.
Ice Ledger has the ability to connect to different installations / servers that are either on the same local network or at some remote location. This is particularly useful for accountants and accounting service companies who may wish to connect to their client company data from the comfort of their own office. This feature is also useful for staff working from home or from some remote location away from the office.
This particular feature allows users to check who is already logged in to the system. This is useful when the total number of logged in users has reached the maximum allowd by the licensing agreement. So, anyone needing to login to the system can check who is logged in but not actively using the system and ask them to log out.
If your computer system crashes in the middle of using Ice Ledger or for any reason you do not exit the program properly then the current login will remain in place. When you next try to login with the same user account details, a warning message, stating that the user account is already logged in and a Clear button will be displayed. If this is due to Ice Ledger not being shutdown correctly and the user is NOT currently logged in then you can use the Clear button to clear the old login.
To automate the login process, run the application using a batch file with additional parameters with each parameter separated by a space:
