3.10. How do I activate new features that I've purchased or other changes to my software?

Q:  I've just purchased some new plugins for my EstiMate software, but they are not showing up in the list when I click "Add Item".  How can I get these new items to show up?

A:  After you purchase new plugins, addons, or additional licenses you still need to download a new license file to unlock those changes in your software.

To download a new license file:

• Click on the Configure And Manage tab.

• Click the "Download New License File" button.

• You might get a message that says "You only need to download a new license file if you have changed your company name or address info with us over the phone, or have made new purchases with us via phone.  Continue?"  Click the "Yes" button to continue.
  

• After a few seconds you will receive a message stating "The new license file had been downloaded".

• You will need to restart EstiMate in order for the new changes to become effective.

• When you reopen EstiMate you should have access to the new features. 

Purchasing new components for your EstiMate software is one reason you will need to download a new license file, but you will also need to download a new license file if you've changed your company name, or address with us over the phone.  You may also need to do this if your temporary license file has expired or become invalidated because the time and date on your computer clock has changed.
