Upgrading on a Client Only

If you do not have the necessary prerequisites for installing Signature products, the installation wizard will offer to install them for you.

IMPORTANT: Verify that the user installing or upgrading Signature has permission to access to all production and test companies.

Complete the Signature upgrade steps in the following order:

Step 1: Run the installation wizard

1. Launch the file Signature Products.exe. 

   

   Note: We recommended right-clicking the .exe file and choosing Run As Administrator. This is necessary even if you are logged in as an administrator, due to the way that Windows handles user roles.

2. On the Welcome screen, choose Next >.
3. Accept the terms of the license agreement, and choose Next >.
4. Mark the Client Only Installation option, and choose Next >.
5. On the Product Selection window, select your installation choice from the drop-down menu next to each feature.

6. Choose Next>.
