- Click the Download button for the product installer (Windows or
Macintosh) you wish to download.
Note: If clicking the download button fails to work, try right-clicking
on the button and choose "Save Target As...". This will
bring up a Save dialog box allowing you to save the Installer to your
desktop.
- When prompted with the "File Download" dialog box, select
"Save this program to disk" and save it in a place you are
sure to remember, like your Desktop.
- After the file has finished downloading, launch the Installer from
your desktop and follow the onscreen instructions.
- After the installation is complete, you will need to perform a
HotSync to install the software on your handheld.
- After completing the installation on your handheld, you may delete
the installer file on
your desktop that you downloaded in step 2.
Windows Upgrade Instructions
If you have an earlier version of the
software installed, you may update to the current version by downloading
and running the latest installer. If you are upgrading to version 4,
the upgrade costs $9.95. You can try it free for 30 days, then:
Since this is an optional paid upgrade and the data format
will change a little, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
that you make a backup of your SplashID database before installing
the update: |

|
- Open the SplashID Desktop and display all records by choosing All
Categories from the Category pull-down menu.
- Click Export > SplashID vID from the File menu.
- Save the vID file someplace safe, like your My Documents folder.
- If you are upgrading from version 2.59 or older, you should first
install SplashID
3.32.
- Run SplashID 3.32 on the desktop and handheld after installing
to update the data. Export another vID file to be safe: File > Export
> SplashID vID.
Now you can install the upgrade and safely revert if you decide not
to purchase an upgraded license.

Mac Users Upgrade Instructions
SplashID 4 will not pick up your SplashID 3.x data. You
should export it before upgrading, of course:
File > Export > SplashID

But the updated Palm application will update the data from version
3, so after you HotSync the new version over after installing, set
the SplashID conduit to handheld overwrites desktop for one sync.
To do this:
- Launch Palm Desktop and choose Conduit Settings from the Hotsync
Menu.
- A list of conduits will appear.
- Double-click the SplashID conduit and choose Handheld overwrites
Macintosh, then click OK.
- Perform a hotsync. This will move all the data (and password)
from the handheld to the Macintosh.
If you are upgrading to version 4, the
upgrade costs $9.95. You can try it free for 30 days, then:
