Activation may be performed in either automatic or manual mode. Automatic Activation requires Internet access. Manual activation also requires Internet access, but in this case it may be done on any computer.

1. Activation.
Update - enables downloading the most recent version of the package, as well as some older versions. Programs and data catalogues are being constantly expanded and updated, and the modifications are published in the form of new package versions. It is recommended to regularly Update the software and use the most recent available version. Update is run from InstalSystem Manager 5 and is free of charge.
InstalSystem Manager 5 has an option to notify the user about availabity of a newer program version. To receive automatic notifications, the Automatically check for updates should be checked ON. In this case, the Warning will appear on the Update tab. To download the update, use the function Execute update / Download archival version.

2. Update.

Note: During the Update it is possible to select and download several program versions (called also Revisions), including older ones. InstalSystem 5 has the unique feature of downloading and saving several versions of the program, and using each of them, when needed, to process archived projects with that program version, which was used to save the project recently. We recommend creating projects with the most recent program version.
