To update
Start the program, and under the Help menu, select the option called 'MARC Report Update'. The program will connect to our server and check your registration. If successful, the server will display a page with installation instructions and a link to download the program.

As noted above, select 'Save'. If you select Run, Windows will not be able to validate the digital certificate of the MARC Report file, and this validation helps to protect your computer from unknown software.
Where to save the file to be downloaded? Wherever you will be able to find it again!
If you do not have Admin privileges, we recommend the shared documents folder on your computer (while in the 'Save As' dialog, click 'My Computer', then look for a folder called 'Documents' or 'Shared Documents'). If you have Admin privileges, save the file to your Desktop.
At this point, if you do not have Admin privileges, you will not be able to install the program. Logout and login as a user with Admin privileges, or find someone to do this for you.

The installation should not take more than a minute or two. There are three possible prompts that might pop-up:
