Update Notes and Instructions
-
Before you attempt to install this update, you must have first successfully installed (and licensed) your copy of CrystalMaker from the original CD-ROM. You cannot run this update on a "clean" system.
-
The update package is compressed as a Zip archive. Once expanded (Safari does this automatically) you will have a standard Mac OS X Disk Image, with the file extension ".dmg".
-
Mount the disc image by double-clicking it and then letting Disk Copy do its work. (Please note: Safari does this automatically for you.)
-
A new volume should appear on your desktop, with a white, removable-disc icon, entitled "CrystalMaker 8.x Update".
-
To install the CrystalMaker update, simply drag the contents of this disc into the Applications folder - an alias is provided to make this easier. You may want to backup your old CrystalMaker program first.
-
You can now drag the removable disc icon to the trash. (You may wish to retain the ".dmg" disc image file for backup purposes.)
Before you download: you must already have purchased and installed a full version of CrystalMaker 8. This update will NOT update CrystalMaker 7, CrystalMaker 6, etc.!
