Patch update 2321 for Version 4.0

Version: 4.0 - Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, & Scientific Notebook

Note This patch update has been superseded by a patch update for Version 4.1.

We are currently shipping build 2321 of Version 4.0 of Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, and Scientific Notebook. If you have build 2312 of Version 4.0 currently installed, you can download a patch update file (approximately 1 MB for each product). The update includes those changes in the program since its release.

Step One. Check the version of SWP/SW/SNB you're using.

Start your copy of the program. From the Help menu, choose About and note the version and build numbers.

If you currently have build 2312 of Version 4.0, you can use the patch update. If you have Version 3.5 or earlier, you must purchase an update to Version 4.0.

Step Two. Download and install the update.

If you have build 2312 or higher, you can download the patch update file. Note that the complete self-extracting installation file for build 2321 is also available for downloading (24.5 MB for SNB; 51.5 MB for SWP).

Note These files are no longer available for download. They have been superseded by a patch update for Version 4.1.

Product Patch Update File Size Full Install File Size
Scientific WorkPlace swp2312to2321.exe 1,034,012 swp-pro400.exe 51,491,400

If you have sufficient disk space, you may want to make a copy of your current program directory before you apply the patch update. If the update should fail for some reason, you may need to reinstall from the original program CD or download the full self-extracting installation file.

Note The new version uses new registry information, so if you have made custom settings, such as new automatic substitutions or toolbar configurations, they will be lost when you install the update. When you run the program for the first time after installing the update, the program window will be similar to the first time you ran the program after the original installation.

To update your current version of SWP, SW, or SNB:

  1. Download the appropriate file to your local hard drive.

  2. When the download is complete, close your current version of SWP, SW, or SNB.

  3. Run the downloaded program and follow the screen prompts.

  4. Start the program.

  5. From the Help menu, choose About, and check that the build number is 2321.

There is no change to the licensing, so your current license information will be used. You do not have to re-register.
