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.
 | Important: If the download takes a very short time (a couple of seconds), then you have a corrupted download and will need to download again. |
