I like EasyRoyalties but it needs to work with my other computer systems. Can I do this?
Yes. Our import/export functionality allow you to easily share data with other applications.
If you have specific data-sharing requirements, email us at and we will recommend the best way to use EasyRoyalties for your situation.
Does EasyRoyalties include accounting features?
Our royalty software provides extensive facilities for recording financial data, including advances, royalty receipts, co-edition prices & invoices (Mini Rights and That’s Rights), sales figures (EasyRoyalties), commissions & payments (That’s Rights! Agents), and so on – and all of this in multiple currencies.
Royalty calculations can be associated with your own GL account numbers for interfacing with your accounting system. Our royalty software can export a payments due file for use by your accounting department. You can import a payment updates file that updates payments due with payment date, payment method and check number (reference number).
The software; however, does not provide functionality for maintaining complete financial records.
Is there a limit to the number of titles I can manage with your royalty software?
EasyRoyalties is priced by the number of titles it manages and can be upgraded to a higher tier at any time. In this way it can accommodate the needs of small publishers at a low cost. You can manage multiple company databases under a single license.
Our largest client in North America has about 11,000 titles. Most clients have a license for 800 or fewer titles.
The optional rights module is priced by the number of rights licenses. It supports unlimited submissions (license offers) and unlimited permission transactions.
What kind of computer do I need?
EasyRoyalties will run on any personal computer (desktop or laptop PC) that operates under the Microsoft Windows® operating system (Microsoft Windows® 7 or later).
If you wish to use our royalty software solution with a Macintosh, you can do so by installing Windows as a ‘guest’ operating system using industry-standard Mac applications such as Parallels Desktop.
EasyRoyalties is also available on a hosted Windows Desktop platform on a subscription basis. Contact us for more information.
In multi-users systems the data file is stored on a Windows Server or a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. The application is installed on the user’s personal computer.
My free trial period has expired and I was too busy to evaluate the software – what do I do?
Email use the product ID and we will provide you a license key that will expend the trial version for another 30 days.
Several people in my company need to evaluate the software. Can we install a trial copy on more than one computer?
Yes. Use the same copy the downloaded file and install it on each computer where you want to evaluate EasyRoyalties.
Contact us if you would like to schedule an online demostration of the software

What is the database review service?
With the database review service our staff will answer clients questions that require a review of client provided file(s); database file, import file or an export file.
Example: When client questioned a royalty calculation a review of their database file allowed us to identify an incorrect royalty rule. When a client was unsure of how to import a sales file our staff reviewed the file and provide instructions on the field mappings. We also suggested using the EasyRoyalties import translation table. The translation table converts a specified field value in the import file to another value.
