- WinFSCM End of Year - The next time WinFSCM is launched from any computer, it will download the latest upgrade from DataCenter updating the parameters and settings that you set for the DataCenter End of Year process. After this process has completed, the End of Year process for WinFSCM can be executed.
- Locking the prior year database - Choosing this option will prevent WinFSCM from updating a database from a previous year by disabling communication. If you need to prevent WinFSCM from updating a past database (e.g. 20112012-2012 2013 DataCenter database), you can lock the database by clicking on the Admin tab and selecting Previous Year Databases.
