As you may know, Family Law Software is phasing out the desktop software on September 30, 2026.
This FAQ will answer questions that Basic Edition users may have about their next steps.
Confirming Your Edition
If you are not sure what edition you have, you can find out by clicking here, filling in the account information, and clicking Submit Request. (No charge at that moment.)
You can find the person whose name is on the account, and their User Id, either of the following ways:
1. In the Desktop software, look at the top of the Open / Save screen, as shown below; or
2. In the Cloud software, look at the very bottom of the screen, as shown below:
Confirming the Edition You are Using
Basic Edition subscribers may use either Cloud or desktop, so you may not know which edition you are using. To determine which edition you are using, look at the screen images below.
This is the desktop:
This is the Cloud:
Looking at these images will tell you which you are using.
If you are using the desktop, you will need to transition to the Cloud.
If other people in your office are using the desktop, they will need to transition to the Cloud.
Logging In to Cloud
If you have the Basic Edition, the person whose name is on the account may already log in to the Cloud.
If the person whose name is on the account is not currently logging in to the Cloud, all they have to do is to go to pro.flsgo.com and click “Forgot your password?”
That will allow them to reset their password. Then they can go to pro.flsgo.com and log in any time.
Transitioning to Cloud
If you are currently using the desktop software, then you will want to transition to using the Cloud.

Considering Firm Basic
Most of our Basic Edition firms have only one subscriber.
If there are more people in the firm who would like to access the software, you may wish to consider upgrading to the Firm Basic edition.
The firm basic edition gives the following benefits.
- Add all additional staff, each with their own logins, at no additional cost.
- Enable professionals and staff to view and edit each other’s files.
- Enable opening of files of professionals who have left the firm.
The Firm Basic edition costs $10 more per professional per month than the Basic Edition.
To upgrade to the Firm Basic Edition:
- Click here.
- Enter the name, state, and User Id as shown above.
- Click Submit Request.
- Select Firm Basic and continue.
As an alternative, you can have multiple Basic Edition subscribers on the same account, but they will not be able to see each of these files and you will not be able to add staff.
If there is only one person in the firm, then Basic Edition is the way to go. If more than one person wants to work in the software, however, then we really recommend Firm Basic.
Add Additional Members
If you upgrade to Firm Basic, you can add additional members through the Account Manager as follows:
- Log in to Family Law Software.
- In the upper right hand corner, click the Account button.
- Click the tile to add and remove subscribers.
Additional professionals will add $10 per month to your charge. Additional non-professional staff, such as paralegals, are free.
