IMPORTANT! As of this release, versions 5.3.2 and higher, we have converted our installation and application updater tools to a new platform. These changes will make your system more efficient and installing updates more convenient. After installing version 5.3.2.2, you will have the ability to manually run a "check for updates" tool designed to check for and install the latest program files so you can ensure you are always running the current version without the hassel of re-installing the entire application.

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE A SMOOTH CONVERSION

BEFORE INSTALLING UPDATES:

1. The default location for the "LoanData" folder has changed from previous versions. For this reason, it will be helpful to make a note of your current "LoanData" folder location so you can easily update the settings in LoanAce after installation has completed.
1. To find your LoanData folder in LoanAce click Tools > Settings and select the Loan Folder tab.

Note: Loan data will not be lost or removed from your computer while updates are being installed.


2. Uninstall the version of LoanAce currently running on your computer via the Control Panel.
