1. License registration and deactivation

HDF Inwentaryzacja 6 – window for registering and deactivating the program license

After installing the program, you should register the program on the chosen computer. If you have purchased multiple licenses, repeat this step on every computer on which the program is ultimately to run.

To register the program, you must first purchase it – when placing your order, provide your e-mail address. This e-mail address serves as the login for software registration. If you order more than one license, you can specify an e-mail address for each user, or the same e-mail address for all users. The number of purchased licenses is recorded in our database and is subject to our administration.


After the payment is made, you will receive a password generated by e-mail, linked to the e-mail address provided at purchase and required for registration.


You can change your license password only through us – to do so, send us an e-mail at [email protected] requesting a change of the license password, and in reply you will receive a new, secure password generated automatically.

Note! The license password and login are not used to log in to the program, but only for license registration.

How to register HDF Inwentaryzacja 6?

An internet connection is required to register the software.

  1. Click the green field Rejestracja, located at the top on the left side of the menu. A registration dialog box will appear. (1)
  2. In the window, enter the e-mail address and password you received at the address provided during purchase. (2)
  3. Then click the button Rejestruj. (3)
  4. Your registration was successful. Restart the program.
  5. Log in with the default login and password (login: full, password: a) and use the program license on this computer. You can then change the default login and password by clicking Opcje → Użytkownicy aplikacji → Modyfikuj użytkownika.

If you have purchased more than one license, repeat this step on every computer on which they are to be located. Remember that each computer has a different license key (a unique application key), which is generated automatically when the license is registered on a given computer and is assigned to it.

If you want to change the workstation on which the program is to be used, you can deactivate the program license and register it on another computer using the same e-mail address and password as during the first registration.

How to deactivate the license on a chosen computer?

An internet connection is required to deactivate the license.

  1. Click the green field Rejestracja, located at the top on the left side of the menu. A registration dialog box will appear. (1)
  2. In the window, enter the e-mail address and password you received at the address provided during purchase. (2)
  3. Then click the button Deaktywuj. (4)
  4. The license has been successfully deactivated on the computer you are using.

Note! The unique application key is different on each computer. This means that if one of the computers is damaged, the license with that key remains active only on that computer and can be deactivated only from it. It is not possible to deactivate a license from a computer other than the one on which it is active. To transfer a license from an unavailable computer to a new one, contact us by e-mail ([email protected]) and we will deactivate it for you.

4. Program users

Only persons who have been authorized (who have a login, access password, and scope of permissions) may use the program.


4.1. Scope of permissions

HDF Inwentaryzacja 6 allows defining a multi-level permission system. This means that every program user must be assigned to a specific group with selected permissions for access to various program functions and the data stored in it. By default, four access groups with different permissions are defined in the program – „full” (password „a”, has all possible permissions), administrator (has permissions to administer the program), accountant, operator (basic scope of permissions).

To view the list of program users, in the „Opcje” tab select „Użytkownicy aplikacji”. The „Użytkownicy” window will open, containing the user list. If both checkboxes are selected (i.e. „Pokaż usuniętych”, „Pokaż nieaktywnych”), the list contains all users – active users are shown in black, inactive users in blue, and deleted users in red.

HDF Inwentaryzacja 6 – list of program users with function buttons and a search tool

The user list contains the following information: the user's ordinal number, login, first name, last name, phone, e-mail, and activity status.

In the „Użytkownicy” window, in addition to the user list, there are also:

  • A user search tool [2], allowing a user to be found by login, first name, last name, phone number, or e-mail. Next to the search tool there are options for creating a list of deleted and inactive users.
  • Function buttons [1], which allow the following operations: adding users, editing their data, activating and deactivating users, restoring users, and deleting users.

The user list can be filtered so that it contains only data meeting specific criteria. To do this, use the user search tool (located above the list) and the checkboxes: „Pokaż usuniętych” (a list of deleted users will be displayed), „Pokaż nieaktywnych” (a list of inactive users will be displayed).

4.9. Activating / deactivating a user

Each user can be deactivated for a certain period and then activated again. This function means that an inactive user cannot use the program until reactivated, but their login is in a sense „blocked” – a new user with the same login cannot be entered. After activation, the user regains the right to access the program and the permissions previously granted to them.


4.10. Deleting a user

In the „Słowniki” tab you should define:

  • Asset groups

  • Business divisions
  • Responsible persons

6.1. Adding fixed assets

To enter a fixed asset into the program:

  1. Click „Dodaj środek trwały”.
  2. In the „Środek trwały” form, fill in the individual fields (fields marked in red are required). Data that can be selected from drop-down lists is defined in the „Słowniki” tab.
  3. Save the entered data. (After clicking „Zapisz”, by default one asset is saved in the program. The subsection „Adding multiple assets” describes how to enter multiple assets of the same type into the program.)
HDF Inwentaryzacja 6 – form for entering a fixed asset

Remember that until an entered asset is approved by an authorized person, it will not be included in stocktaking and depreciation.


6.2. Adding low-value assets

To enter a low-value asset into the program:

  1. Select „Dodaj środek niskocenny”.
  2. In the „Środek niskocenny” form, fill in the individual fields (fields marked in red are required).
  3. Save the entered data. (After clicking „Zapisz”, by default one asset is saved in the program. The subsection „Adding multiple assets” describes how to enter multiple assets of the same type into the program.)

Remember that until an entered asset is approved by an authorized person, it will not be included in stocktaking.


6.3. Adding intangible / legal assets

To enter an intangible / legal asset into the program:

  1. Select „Dodaj środek niematerialny / prawny”.
  2. In the „Środek niematerialny / prawny” form, fill in the fields (fields marked in red are required). Data that can be selected from drop-down lists is defined in the „Słowniki” tab.
  3. Save the entered data. (After clicking „Zapisz”, by default one asset is saved in the program. The subsection „Adding multiple assets” describes how to enter multiple assets of the same type into the program.)

Remember that until an entered asset is approved by an authorized person, it will not be included in stocktaking.


6.4. Adding multiple assets

The program allows entering multiple assets of a single type.

To do this, enter the selected asset according to points 1–2 detailed in the previous chapters. To save multiple assets of the same type, expand the „Zapisz” button menu and select the „Dodaj wiele środków trwałych” option.

Note! This operation will not be possible if you manually enter the inventory number. To add multiple fixed assets, leave this field empty.

HDF Inwentaryzacja 6 – Dodaj wiele środków trwałych option in the Zapisz button menu

In the „Dodawanie środków” window, specify how many assets are to be entered and enter their serial numbers (after each number press Enter, so that each number is entered on a separate line).

HDF Inwentaryzacja 6 – Dodawanie środków window: number of assets and entering serial numbers

6.5. Approving a new fixed / low-value / legal asset

Every asset entered into the program must be approved by an authorized person. Until a given asset is approved, it will not be included during stocktaking / depreciation. Furthermore, approving a fixed / low-value / legal asset means that:

  • the asset is assigned an inventory number (if the option to generate them automatically is active),
  • the fixed / low-value / legal asset window changes – new tabs appear in it with new, previously unavailable functions.

To approve a newly entered asset:

  1. In the program menu, expand the „Środki trwałe, niskocenne, prawne” tab.
  2. In the program work area, select the assets to be approved (unapproved assets are marked in gray).
  3. Select the „Zatwierdź zaznaczone” option.
  4. Confirm that you want to approve the selected assets.

Another way to perform the same operation is to use the reminder window – if any unapproved assets are stored in the program, a reminder window will appear at the next program startup indicating the need to approve them. To approve selected assets and contractors, or to see the results of automatically performed depreciation, click „Pokaż” and then approve the selected data.

Another way to approve an asset is to open the fixed asset form and click the „Zatwierdź” button in it.

After an asset is approved, the „Środek trwały” (low-value / legal) window changes – new elements with new, previously unavailable functions appear in the menu bar.


6.6. Adding / editing / deleting / opening files attached to a given asset

To perform one of the operations listed above:

  1. Open the window of an approved fixed / low-value / legal asset (to do this, in the program work area double-click the selected asset, or just select it and in the program menu click „Modyfikuj” [Środki trwałe, niskocenne, prawne → Modyfikuj]).
  2. In the menu of the selected asset form, click „Pliki”.
