How to update the software

The Fast Seal Creator software is constantly being developed. This means that we are constantly improving the software, adding new profiles, features or correcting problems.

To update the software is very easy and the needed steps are listed below.

Note: an administration account is needed.

1) How to check if there is an update available?

The download icon should blink when updates are available (introduced January 2021). If your version is older than 5.1.8.6, you can manually check the updates availability on the updates page.

After the administration right is granted, the install screen will be shown, and simply the “Next” button should be pressed to start the install of the new version.

The set up is normally fast (less than 1 minute on most systems). When completed, the “All done” information is shown. This indicates that the process ended.

Once the set up is finished, just start the software and you will already be using the latest version.
