Renewing an update subscription:
If your update subscription has expired or is about to expire, you can renew your subscription for another year by choosing Renew Update Subscription... from the File menu.

You can view how long your current update subscription is good for by opening the About Box. A new renewal code will add 1 year from the date that the renewal code was purchased.

Please Note: Renewing is optional. If you are happy with your current version, then there is no need to renew. You only need to renew if you want to keep up with all of the latest updates.

Note #2: If you currently own the Basic version and the update subscription has expired and you have been considering upgrading to the Pro version, now may be a good time to do so. The Basic to Pro Upgrade will also renew your update subscription for another year.

Registering Metes and Bounds on a new computer:
If you have purchased a new computer, or are recovering from a hard drive failure, you can use these steps to re-register Metes and Bounds:

  1. Enter your Basic or Pro serial number. If you purchased the Basic version and then upgraded to the Pro version, you will need to enter in your Basic serial number first and then enter your Basic to Pro Upgrade serial number.

  2. If your Basic or Pro serial number has expired, you will be prompted to enter in your renewal code. Enter in your most recent renewal code.

Expired Serial Numbers/Renewal Codes:
If the software tells you that your serial number has expired, that means that your serial number is too old to use the latest version of the software. There are two options available to address this.

  1. Purchase an Update Subscription Renewal. This will allow you to use the latest version of the software. It will also allow you to use any new updates that are released in the next year.

  2. Install an older version of the software that will work with your serial number. To find the last version of the software to support your serial number, open the About Box and click on the Advanced tab. Note the Subscription Renewal Code. Then go to the older versions website and download the version that matches your code.
