Frequently asked questions
Licensing & buying
₹5,000 a year, one licence. There are no per-asset charges and no separate editions to choose between.
The licence is per installation — one key covers your allotted number of PCs (1 by default; Just Consultants can raise this on request), each opening its own company
.fardb file.Yes — it's an annual licence. Renew any time before or after expiry; renewing early simply adds a year to your current expiry date rather than starting over.
Go to Get a Key, fill in your name, business, email and mobile, and verify the six-digit code sent to your email. A key appears immediately, valid for a 14-day evaluation, and is also emailed to you.
Open Just FAR — on first launch it shows an Activate screen. Paste the key and press Activate. It contacts Just FAR's server once, receives a signed licence for this PC, and works fully offline afterwards.
One device by default; Just Consultants can raise this per key on request. Reinstalling Windows or the app on the same PC does not use up a second seat.
The app keeps working for a 7-day grace period past expiry with a warning banner, then stops opening new files until you renew. Files you already created are never touched.
Yes — the product key you self-register already gives full access for 14 days before it needs to be paid for.
Installation & setup
No. The executables are self-contained, so the .NET runtime ships inside the file. Nothing to install on the target PC.
Yes. Just FAR is fully offline-first. No internet, no cloud account, no telemetry.
The executables are not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen flags them as unknown publishers. This is normal for new, self-contained software. Click More info → Run anyway.
Run
register-fardb.ps1 -ExePath "C:\Path\To\JustFAR.exe" once per machine. Then double-clicking a .fardb opens it in Just FAR. You can also right-click a file → Open With → JustFAR.exe.Only for the first-time system-wide file association (and any hard install). Portable use from a folder works without admin.
Working with data
In the
.fardb file. That's the entire register — profile, assets, audit log, branding. Keep it safe, back it up, and it travels anywhere.Comfortable up to about 20,000 assets per file; it handles 50,000. Files are small (a 50,000-asset register is ~13 MB) and compress well for email.
No — one computer at a time per
.fardb.We'd avoid it. Sync tools can lock the file while it's open and cause conflicts. Work on a local copy, then copy back or use a network share.
Use Assets ▸ Import Excel. Map your columns (most standard Indian FAR headers are auto-detected), check the preview, and import. Use the built-in Template for a clean start.
Depreciation & correctness
Day-wise pro-rata: only the portion of the financial year the asset held is depreciated. Same for additions and disposal years.
Yes — that's mid-life adoption. Enter the opening WDV and accumulated depreciation as on a date (normally 31 March or 1 April). Keep the original put-to-use date.
It floors both methods — the asset is never depreciated below its salvage value. Enter it as a % of gross cost and Just FAR computes the amount.
No. The engine is per-asset Useful Life (SLM) or Depreciation % (WDV) only, per the current requirement.
Reports & troubleshooting
Check the financial year in the title bar — reports are always for that year. Then spot-check a few assets on the dashboard. If a file was created by an older version, open it once so the schema upgrades.
File ▸ Audit Log inside a company file. Every add, edit, delete and disposal is logged with the user and timestamp.
Close other copies of the file, use 8 GB RAM for very large registers (50k+), and keep the
.fardb on the local disk.App version (Help ▸ About), the company file path (title bar / File ▸ Open folder), and the error detail from
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Just FAR\crash.log.Still stuck?
