Free Updates for Manifold® Products

Updates are great!

Please Read Carefully

Very Important: Updates to Manifold® Release 9 or Manifold Release 8 require a working Manifold Release 9 or Manifold Release 8 license. If you do not have a license you will not be able to use updates.

Updates are Free

Manifold licensees may download and install the latest build of their licensed software at no charge. Builds are identified by a build number, reported in the Help - About dialog. If the current build is newer, download and install it. Newer builds fix bugs and add new features.

Different licensing options, different products, or new product generations are not free updates. For example, a Release 8 license does not provide free access to Release 9, and a Release 9 serial number cannot activate an SQL for ArcGIS® Pro installation. When a new product generation is released, updates for prior generations continue for a limited period of time and then eventually end as development shifts to the new generation.

No need to re-activate - Except for serial number upgrades, there is no need to re-activate a license for routine updates. Uninstalling an older build and installing a newer build for that same product will not change the activation status on that computer. For example, if Release 9 has been activated on your computer you can uninstall it and re-install a newer build of Release 9 as many times as you like: it will still be activated with no need to expend any additional activations.

Serial number upgrades - Upgrades of older serial numbers using the legacy activation system to modern serial numbers using the current, improved activation system will require an activation. When a modern build is installed on a computer that has only hosted legacy builds, the new build must be activated. Using a legacy serial number to activate the modern build will automatically upgrade the serial number to the modern activation system. The serial number will be reset to a fresh crop of activations as well. See the New Activation page for how that works.

Free services do not include tech support - Any questions about updates require a tech support token. See the Contact Support page.

Installation

  • Updates are cumulative, including all new features and fixes issued in previous updates.
  • Installing an update will preserve the activation status of your working installation.
  • Uninstall any prior Release 8 installation using the Windows Control Panel applet before installing an update.
  • Problems with Windows Installer? See the Windows Installer page for tips.
  • Right click on the installation .exe file and choose Run as Administrator to install the update.
  • Save the installation .exe file. You may need it to later uninstall or to repair an installation.
  • Any assistance with updates requires a standard technical support token.

Many users prefer portable installations to using Windows Installer. See the Installations topic for info on using portable installations.
