Welcome
to the Bid4Build production upgrade processing center. This is where you
can access the latest Bid4Build version 3.5, Standard Edition program updates,
Documentation updates and Craftsman Updates (when available). Each update,
fix or enhancement to version 3.5 is tracked documented, dated and available for
review prior to installing the latest Bid4Build V.3.5 update packages.
Once
you complete the information below, you will be presented with a download screen
for the Bid4Build program updates. You will need to provide your original
reference number [RE#] for security access and tracking purposes. This was
supplied to you as part of your initial Bid4Build Software purchase and email
confirmations. If you do not have access to this number, you can email us
at support@bid4build.com
As
part of standard operating procedures, we recommend you FIRST make a BACKUP
of your Bid4Build system. This can be accomplished by making a copy of the
directory "C:\Program Files\Bid4Build". If you do not have a standard backup
process in place, then you can use Windows Explorer to create a backup of the
Bid4Build directory using the following process.
Using
Windows Explorer, navigate to the Bid4Build directory by starting with the root
directory of your computer (usually drive "C"), then into Program Files, then
you will see the Bid4Build directory. Using your mouse, right click on the
Bid4Build directory, select "Copy" then navigate to "Program Files". Right
click on "Program Files" then select paste. This will create a backup copy
of the Bid4Build directory.
You
can download the selected Bid4Build installation file
to a directory folder of your choosing on your computer,
or simply run the installation file directly from the
internet. The installation process will update your existing
program or documentation files with the latest 3.5 updates.
WARNING:
Make sure you have first EXITED the Bid4Build program
BEFORE you apply the program update. If not, the
update will require a reboot of your system before the
installation process completes successfully. This
is because your computer will have control of the Bid4Build
program file.
