Product Upgrades
After installing ForeSight you can check for updates by running the software. On a Mac, select the 'Updates' menu bar option and click 'Check for Updates'. On Windows, press 'R' to show the Graphic Remote, and select 'Check for Updates' from its menu.

NOTE: Windows Vista and Windows 7 require Administrator Access to update ForeSight, if you are using either of these operating systems and wish to update, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the program directory (listed above). Right-Click the ForeSight.exe application and select 'Run as Administrator'. This should allow the updater to work properly. If you still cannot upgrade, download the newest version manually from this link.
