In December 2019 all individual licensee records were migrated into our current database. All licensees were required to register by creating a new User Name and Password. The old usernames and passwords were no longer functional.

One benefit of the change allowed for the access of multiple records with a single login. This means, for those who hold multiple licenses, all of your records could be accessed from this single login. For this reason, login information should NOT be shared.
