Version: 4.0 & 4.1 - Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, & Scientific Notebook

We have released build 2363 of Version 4.1 of Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, and Scientific Notebook.

You can download a patch update file for build 2363 if you currently have installed either

  • Build 2312 or 2321 of Version 4.0

    or

  • Build 2345, 2347 or 2359 of Version 4.1

Important notes

  • The patch update files are different for different builds. Please be sure you download the correct patch update file for your installation.

  • This patch update is for the English version only. If you have the German version of one of our products, you must obtain the German patch update.

  • If you're running Version 4.0 under a floating license, your system administrator must update the version of FlexLM installed on your server before you can use any Version 4.1 build. FlexLM Version 8.1 comes with our Version 4.1 CD, but is not available by download. For information about installing a new version of FlexLM and obtaining an updated serial number MacKichan Software products, system administrators should contact technical support by email or by telephone at (360) 394-6033 or (877) 724-9673.

Please read all the instructions before you begin the update. Note that we have made a one-time change to our licensing process that requires reregistration for Version 4.1. Step Three contains instructions.

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

  1. Start your copy of the program.

  2. From the Help menu, choose About and note the version and build numbers.

    • If you currently have build 2312 or 2321 of Version 4.0 or build 2345, 2347, or 2359 of Version 4.1, you can use a patch update.

    • If you have Version 3.5x or earlier, you must purchase an upgrade to Version 4.

Step Two. Download and install the patch update.

The patch update files are different for different builds. Please be sure you download the correct patch update file for your installation.

If you prefer, you can download the complete self-extracting installation file for build 2363 (46.1 MB for SWP; 40.5 MB for SW; 20.0 MB for SNB).

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. In most cases, the patch update preserves user preferences, such as new automatic substitutions and toolbar configurations.

To download and install the patch update:
