 #Summary : How to download and install a new Livechart packs or update

This sequence presumes that your computer is connected to the internet so files can be directly downloaded. If the computer is not on the internet, then simply download files on to a memory stick and take to the target computer and copy across.

Steps are:

  • Download CD files
  • Unzip download CD files
  • Use unlock program (part of the download) to unlock the charts using unlock codes

Note:
If you are upgrading a pack then follow the same procedure, but you may want to remove the old charts first. You can use the chart removal utility tool to remove ALL previous Livecharts.

Important - This does remove all Livecharts accept the default ones, so don't use if not updating all chart packs that you need.

Keep the original downloads safe and the unlock codes in case you ever need to do a complete re-install. The codes, downloads and unlock codes can't be re-issued once they are no longer the current version.

Trouble shooting

Check that you have entered the correct Chart pack name (5th box)

The codes are specific to the dongle and to the downloaded CD version.
