UPGRADE AT A REDUCED PRICE
As a registered owner of a license for The Panorama Factory V4 (or a V3
license shortly before V4 was released), you may upgrade to V5 at a reduced
price. The regular V4-to-V5 upgrade price will be $29.95. An introductory
special, valid until November 30, 2007, reduces the V4-to-V5 upgrade price
to $19.95.
DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS
Please download and try The Panorama Factory V5. Under the Shareware
license you may try it for up to 30 days before deciding whether to purchase
the upgrade.
To download and install V5.0, follow these instructions:
1. Go to http://www.panoramafactory.com/download.html
2. The download page examines the version of Windows on your computer and
suggests the appropriate download(s) for your system, either:
Download V5.0 m32 Edition
Download V5.0 x64 Edition
Download V5.0 Legacy Edition
If you feel that it is not suggesting the correct edition for your
computer, click the link "Click here if you intend to install on a
different computer" to see all edition downloads.
3. Select the download link to transfer one of these files to your computer:
pfactory_setup_m32.exe (m32 Edition)
pfactory_setup_x64.exe (x64 Edition)
pfactory_setup.exe (Legacy Edition)
4. To install the update, either:
Select the "Open" button on the File Download dialog box
(Internet Explorer) to run the setup automatically after the
download finishes;
or
Save the setup file to your computer and then double-click it
from Windows Explorer.
4. You can install V5 without removing V4 from your computer. After
trying V5, if you choose not to upgrade, you can remove V5 without
affecting V4.
HOW TO PURCHASE THE UPGRADE
1. After you install The Panorama Factory V5 on your computer, start
the program. When the "License and Registration information" dialog
box appears, click the "Upgrade from V4" button. The order page will
open in your internet Browser.
--OR--
Go directly to http://www.panoramafactory.com/purchase.html
4. Choose "The Panorama Factory V4 to V5" under "Version Upgrade" and
enter your V4 Registration Key.
5. Review the order total and then click the "Checkout" button. A web
page will open at the secure site to collect billing information and
complete your order.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT RUNNING V4 AND V5 ON THE SAME COMPUTER
If you wish, you may leave V4 installed on your computer after installing
V5. V5 can read project files written by previous versions, but the reverse
is true only if you select the "Store project files in V4.4 format" checkbox
on the Compatibility tab of the Options dialog box. Once you save a project
file with V5 format, you will no longer be able to open it in a previous
release. If you wish to be able to open an existing project with an
earlier release, you should open it and then save it with a different name
before you open it with V5.
V4 DOWNLOAD WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE
If, for any reason, you wish to download V4 in the future (instead of V5),
the V4.5 download will remain available. You can reach the V4.5 download by
selecting "Download older versions of The Panorama Factory" on the main
download page, http://www.panoramafactory.com/download.html
