It is important to download the correct file, otherwise the program that installs will only run in demonstration mode and your licensee/registration details will not unlock it successfully.  You can check your current version and edition by clicking on About PIA under the Help menu of your software (You can also use this to ensure that you have updated successfully.)  Most professionals use PIAPro while most investors use PIAFpu.

 

To install the Windows update (Win 95, 98, ME, XP, 2000):

  • Ensure that PIA is not running.

  • Click on the appropriate update in the table above.

  • If you are asked by the browser whether to open the file or save it to disk, choose open (this will automatically run the install once it has downloaded).

  • When the update runs on your PC, it will confirm the version and edition being updated. Click OK.

  • You will then be presented with a dialog in which you will need to click the Unzip button to extract the files.  The default folder to take the extracted files will be the same as for the original installation CD.  If you changed this on the original, you will need to change it here to correspond.

  • If all has gone according to plan, the updated program should spring to life and request confirmation of the localisation defaults (country/State). 

To install the Macintosh update (Mac OS 7, 8, 9)

  • Ensure that PIA is not running.

  • Click on the appropriate update in the table above.

  • If you are asked by the browser whether to open the file or save it to disk, choose open (this will automatically run the install once it has downloaded). If it is downloaded to disk, it may or may not be automatically decompressed. 

  • Double click the decompressed file (e.g. UpdateFpu or UpdatePro) to confirm the version and edition being updated. Click OK.

  • In the dialog, choose the correct folder (e.g. PIAFpu 7.0 or PIAPro 7.0) and click on the Extract button.

  • Locate the application alias for your program under the Apple menu and click to restart PIA.
