In the good old bad old days, you just downloaded an updater, applied it with a single key stroke and Bob’s yer flip. I don’t ever seem to get a clear picture of what I’m supposed to do - you know, like a step by step, unambiguous “installation for dummies” thing. It seems to me that there’s a lot of faffing around with this updating lark.

Are they the same thing? If so, why not choose one single name instead of two?Īfter hours of frustration, I turned my machine off and, when I turned it back on, Lo and Behold! Dorico 5 was apparently working. I know I got an “Activation Code” but I don’t remember getting a “Download Code”. I guess that’s what I may have done while bumbling around trying to work out what bits and pieces do what to which and where, although I don’t actually remember a specific event. I would like to have included a screenshot of the Activation Manager but I can’t find any way of adding it to this message. Please, if anyone can help, I’d be very grateful. I’ve sent in two tickets to “Support” with no response whatever. I know it’s got be down to some idiocy on my part but, for the life of me, I can’t remember how I got round this at the last upgrade (or the upgrade before). Pressing “relaunch” does absolutely nothing (that I can see).įortunately, unlike when I did the Dorico 4 upgrade, I still have access to the previous version.

When I try to run Dorico 5, I get taken to the Activation Manager, which refuses to show Dorico 5 as one of my products. I’ve even got a Dorico 5 icon on my desktop! Now the installer has downloaded everything and installed it. At first, the installer sent my browser round in an endless loop, until I remembered (distantly) from doing the Dorico 4 upgrade that I had to change my browser from Firefox to Chrome (much against my better judgement).
