Getting started with Checkpoint Tools for PPC

Using Checkpoint Tools for PPC with Virtual Office

Checkpoint Tools for PPC is available in your Virtual Office or SaaS environment without having to download and install. There is a shortcut icon on your Home screen, and you can also launch it from Workpaper CS, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel.
Before you start working with Checkpoint Tools in the Virtual Office or SaaS environment, you'll need to make sure that anyone licensed for Checkpoint Tools has an active order for their products assigned to their Checkpoint user ID. An Administrator can check this in the Checkpoint User Administration System. You'll also need to make sure that permissions are enabled in NetStaff to access Checkpoint Tools from Virtual Office/SaaS.
When you launch Checkpoint Tools, you'll need to enter your Checkpoint user ID and email address. If this is your first time logging in, you'll need to accept the license agreement.
Once logged in, you'll find a list of your licensed products assigned to your Checkpoint account. If you own licenses to multiple products under different Checkpoint accounts, you'll need to switch to that account. Select
Options
 from the Tools section of the toolbar, and select
Checkpoint Credentials.
 Enter your other Checkpoint account information and select
Submit
 to see your other list of products.
If you need to refresh your list of products because you've made changes to your account, select
Options
 from the Tools section of the toolbar and select
Refresh License File

You can also launch Checkpoint Tools from Microsoft Word or Excel. Go to the PPC tab on the ribbon and select
