What is a Software Update?
What does the update do?
A software update is a downloadable file that will
modify your current installation of the software to the latest release.
For example, if you have a copy of version 5.0.4 on your computer this is not the most recent release of version
5--applying the
update program will upgrade to the latest
version. The updates will transform any previous version of the
program to the latest release.
Does the update change any of my stored settings?
No, the update only changes the program files.
Why should I bother to update?
The update packs incorporate fixes to the program that
are likely to overcome potential problems you may encounter. All software
programs will have bugs that can result in program crashes. Applying the
update will reduce such occurrences and so improve your experience with
the program.
What do I need to do if I want to update?
Just download the update and run it. If you are running
Windows 2000 or XP or Vista then you will need "Administrator"
security rights. Please consult your system software administrator if you
are unsure about what this means.
My company says that only version X.0.6 is approved,
but your current release is X.0.9
We number our software follows. Software
releases are designated in the manner "A.B.C" where A
is the version number, B is reserved for future use (in all current
releases this is "0") and C is the minor revision number. We
have a policy of correcting faults in the operation of the program and
where this is done we use the minor revision number to allow users to know
which particular build of the program they have. It is our view that a
change to the minor revision number has no influence on the substantive
operation of our programs. We are aware, however, that some large
companies take the view that any change cannot be permitted. While
we disagree with this interpretation, users who are in doubt should
consult their company policy.
Can I use the update to move to a later version of the program?
The downloadable updates only upgrade the version of
the program that you originally purchased. To upgrade to the latest
version of the program you have to purchase an upgrade
pack.
What is a Version Upgrade?
A version upgrade is a major release of the software.
Installation of a version upgrade will require purchase of an upgrade
license.
