This software requires activation. We no longer offer an evaluation version of EasyPay.

Before running the EasyPay installer

  1. Enable .NET Framework 3.5

    Make sure .NET Framework 3.5 is enabled in Windows Features. Microsoft's guide explains where to enable it.

  2. Apply pending Windows updates

    If there are any pending Windows updates, apply them by restarting and selecting the option to update.

  3. Restart before installation

    Always close all open programs and restart your PC before starting a new installation. This small action will save significant time.

After installing the software

  1. Run EasyPay

    Launch EasyPay and set up a new blank payroll database.

  2. Arrange activation

    The software requires activation. Contact us after installation to activate your installation.

  3. Check for updates

    Go to the Help menu and select Check For Updates. This ensures you are on the very latest version with the latest tax and social insurance updates.

Mac users

Installation for Apple users

To use EasyPay Apple users need to install Parallels for Mac, which is available free on a 14 day evaluation. Parallels is just £45 per year. You will also need the latest Windows 11 (Version 25H2) which is available on a 90 day free evaluation. A valid Windows licence can be purchased from an online retailer such as Eneba.com from as little as £6.

Note: In Parallels we recommend going to Options > Sharing and uncheck Mirror Mac and Windows user folders. This keeps a cleaner installation with all your Windows files isolated inside a single .pvm file.

Updates

Keeping EasyPay up to date

We issue product updates every month for new features, new forms; changes in local legislation and support for operating system updates.

To update an existing installation, go to the Help menu within EasyPay and select Check For Updates. EasyPay will download and perform all available upgrades automatically without user intervention — no need for the additional expense of an IT technician.

If your system security prevents automatic internet updates, you will need to update manually using the files below.
