Installing and Using the CopyReport CD-Rom

Here you will find a step-by-step guide on how to install and use your Copyreport CD-Rom. If you need any assistance with this process please contact us.

Step 1 - Installing your CopyReport CD-Rom

1. Insert the CD-Rom into your CD drive and follow the on-screen instructions.  In most cases the set-up routine will start automatically.
2. If set-up does not start automatically, click on Start (bottom left-hand corner of your screen) then click on the option Run and type D:SETUP.EXE in the text box provided.  If your CD drive is not configured as drive D, substitue with the appropriate letter.
3. When the set-up is complete you will have a new program group called CopyReport and a new CopyReport icon on your desktop.

Note: If you have installed an earlier version of CopyReport and you wish to retain the data you have entered so far do not uninstall the earlier version.

Step 2 - Activating CopyReport

1. Double-click the CopyReport icon on your desktop to start the program.
2. Next, you will be asked to indicate your location (UK, Eire, Germany or Nederland) and your customer type (church or school). Your selection here is important since it will determine how CopyReport is configured.
3. The My Details tab will now be displayed.
4. Enter details about yourself, your church/school and your licence expiry date. Please enter your customer reference number and licence number(s) in the correct boxes since we will use these to match your report with your record on our customer database. Click on Save Changes towards the top left of the screen.

Note: The reporting tab for the CCL/CWCL will only activate after you have entred the respective licence numbers and clicked on Save Changes. If you purchase an additional licence mid-way through your existing licence period simply add the new licence number on My Details to activate the tab.

Step 3 - Using CopyReport

1. We hope you find CopyReport simple to use.   If you need to refer to the HELP file you can click on the blue Copyrightman icon, or select HELP from the Help & options menu found at the top right of the screen.
2. If you have any problems or questions about using CopyReport please contact our Customer Service team.

Step 4 - Submitting your Report

You should submit your CopyReport to CCLI at the end of your licence period, ideally at the same time as you renew your licence(s). Click on the Reporting tab at the top of the screen. There are 3 ways you can submit your completed report to CCLI:

• Internet - This will send your report direclty to CCLI via the Internet. Once the process is complete, a message will be displayed saying 'Report uploaded successfully'.
• Email - This process asks you to select a place to save the CopyReport file and then automatically attaches it to an email using your own email program. NB: Some email programs may warn you that another program is trying to send an email.
• Post - By using the Save As option you can save your report file locally and then copy it to a CDR or Floppy Disc which can be posted to us.

Step 5 - Resetting CopyReport

1. When you renew your licence(s) for another year you will need to reset CopyReport in order to report song and publication reproduction during the new licence period. At this stage you can also choose to print or save a copy of the previous report for your own records, but be sure to do this before you undertake the reset process.
2. The Reset option is at the bottom of the Reporting tab. Click on this option to remove all the ticks and Write Ins you have entered during the licence period just ended. Your licence expiry date will also be updated.

Note: Once you have gone through the reset process, use the Show Previous Years options on the Reported tabs to view the songs reported in the previous licence period. You may find this option speeds up the process of reporting songs you are using again.
