Important Product Details and Account Setup Request

First, please review these important product details to make sure Drake Hosted is right for you. Once you've finished reviewing a section, click Continue.

  • The Drake Tax software license must be purchased separately; the hosting fee does not include the annual software license fee. The base annual hosting fee is $600.
  • Each station license can only be accessed by one user at a time. However, licenses can be shared by multiple users. So if you have part-time staff working at different times, they can share a license.
  • Broadband internet connectivity with 1.5Mbps or better download speeds is required. As the number of simultaneous connections increases on the same broadband network within your office, higher bandwidth may be required to maintain optimal performance. Check your internet speed
  • Printers must be HP-compatible and Citrix-compatible, and must be a laser printer that supports the PCL-5e printer language and the Arial font. Please check your printer here to ensure compatibility: Citrix-Ready Printers and Scanners.
