How to Install a Software Update

AB Cloud Users - All updates are installed on the cloud for you by AB.  If you have any questions about when an update will be installed, please contact customer support at 800-728-6853.

Non AB Cloud Users - AccuBuild software updates can be accessed on our website from within your AccuBuild program with no need for a password.  

•It is always recommended that you backup your data BEFORE you install any update.  If you have multiple companies, then be sure to perform the backup process in each company.

•Go to the Help Menu on the main screen of your AccuBuild Program.  

•Select Check AccuBuild Website for Updates.  (If you do not see the website option on the menu, then you need to refresh your toolbar.  Click on the down-arrow on the main screen that is located under the X that is used to close the AccuBuild program. Click Add or Remove Buttons; click Reset Toolbar.)

•The website option will take you directly to the list of update options.  Click on the appropriate update and SAVE the file to your desktop.  DO NOT run the update directly from the website. 

•Once the file is downloaded, all users must exit the AB program before you can run the installation program. 

•Click on the file that was saved to your desktop and choose the installation method.  If you know the location where the AccuBuild Program resides (such as P:\Accubld8\), then you can choose the Manual installation option and follow the screen prompts for selecting the appropriate location, otherwise, choose the Automatic installation and the system will find the program location for you.   

•Click Yes, Next or 'I Accept' on any other prompts to finish the installation. 

•To verify that the program was installed correctly, open the AB program.  The program version (such as:  9.4.0.1 Blue) will appear at the top of the main screen.
