	Accfin Professional Series Software Updates Procedure by Cedric Main

Solution The latest proseries update is dated the ..........(latest proseries date)

The ftp site address is:

ftp://ftp2.accfin.co.za/prof32Bit/ (first priority) OR

ftp://ftp.accfin.co.za/Software%20Downloads/Accfin%20Updates/Prof32Bit/Update/

On the ftp site, you must download/save the VIZUPD.EXE file to your Desktop.

Right the steps are as follows:

1) MAKE A CURRENT BACKUP. You will normally make a copy of the proseries folder to a cd/dvd/ or flash disk. You can

even do this to your local drive. BUT you must look at where the location of the proseries folder is, especially the Server

location!!! This is your main backup. If you are clueless, please ask your IT person to help you find it. Also log everyone

out of the Accfin professional series.

2) There should be a file called Vizupd.exe. This sometimes can be in zip file called Vizupd.zip. Run the Vizupd.exe

from your desktop by double clicking and then choose the “server” proseries folder to install to. It will update the server

in less than a minute.

3) Once done, you can login into proseries again with your user name and password. Please do make sure everyone is out

except you or the administrator. GO to SETUP>CONVERT DATA>ALL on the main menu. It will ask you if you did a backup and that

everyone is out the network. Click on yes, because I told you to do this in steps 1 and including 3.

4) Next you must GO to UTILITIES>RE-INDEX on the main menu. It will ask the same 2 questions. Click "Yes" only, once

you agree to the question.

5) Eventually you will see the ..........(latest release date) on top of the proseries program active bar.

If you stuck, please give a call, especially the support team.
