You should now proceed to the Employees > Add/Amend Employees to complete the additional information for each employee that is not contained within the P2C file such as:

At Bright, we’ve been working hard to improve the customer experience and make it easier to renew your Payroll Manager licence each year.
With this goal in mind, we recently changed how software licences are purchased.
Going forward, you will need a Bright ID to purchase Payroll Manager.
