How to update a software product to a new version

If it is a commercial product that you have a licence for, please check the remaining update period in its About window before updating. The licence key will not work with versions released outside of the update period and you may need to renew your licence first, then install the latest version of the software and enter the new licence key.

If you are updating a free product, simply install the new version over the old one. If any other actions are required, the installer will let you know.
