Downloading a Platinum update

Our software updates are available to everyone with a current maintenance contract for their copy of Platinum Software. (Software Rentals include all software updates.)

If you let your maintenance lapse you are missing out on our constant development process. See here for a list of the latest changes to Platinum.

Downloading Platinum

Use the "Help" -> "Software Support" -> "Download Latest Version" from within Platinum to get to this page.

• Click here to download the latest version of Platinum.
• Click [Save] then use the browser to choose "Desktop" (if you have previously downloaded an update you should first delete the icon called 'platwin.exe' from your desktop).
• Click [Save].
• The download should take around 2 – 5 minutes depending on your connection, and should be between 8 & 9mb.
