Instructions for UltraDiff Upgrades

You can purchase step-up upgrades or register for free upgrades by logging in to the Customer Resource Area from your current version of UltraDiff.

For details of upgrades available, simply click on the UltraDiff Help menu and then click on the "Resources and Support" item to automatically login.



These notes outline the steps necessary to apply various types of upgrades to your existing UltraDiff installation.

You should refer to the detailed notes for Version 3.2 or Version 3.1 and earlier depending on the actions required for each step.

The different types of Upgrades available are:

Paid upgrades to a different version / edition
Paid upgrades to convert from Static to Roving
Free upgrades to version 3.2
Free upgrades to your current version


Paid upgrades to a different version / edition

On successful completion of purchase, you receive an email outlining the steps needed.

If your upgrade includes a change of licence type from Static to Roving then you must install and activate the new version on the same PC as the old version otherwise the process will fail. Once completed, you can then use the Roving licence normally.
  1. Park the licence from your existing installation of UltraDiff following the instructions relevant to that version ( Version 3.2   Version 3.1 and earlier )

  2. Using the link provided in the e-mail, download and install the new version of UltraDiff following the instructions relevant to the new version ( Version 3.2   Version 3.1 and earlier )

    Do not install the new upgrade to the same directory as the existing UltraDiff installation.

    We recommend you accept the default installation directory suggested by the UltraDiff installer.

  3. Activate the newly installed version of UltraDiff following the instructions relevant to the new version ( Version 3.2   Version 3.1 and earlier )
