Download an Update
Important Note
Versions 1.81 and later contain a new feature that will streamline the upgrade
process. After this upgrade, in the future, you will be advised each time
you use the software (if connected to the web) when a newer version than
the one you are using is available. If so notified, with your permission,
the download of the newer version will automatically transfer to your
computer. The transfer process will be completed without further action on
your part, and your existing client files and consultant data will be
transferred to the upgrade version. Version 1.60 and later versions have
new reports and calculations, therefore some new reports will differ from
earlier versions. |
