Before you start: These steps work if Construction Contract Writer is already activated on your computer with your original license (single-state or all-state).
On a new computer? First install and activate your original license, then follow the steps below to add your update.
Step 1: Buy the update
Purchase a 12-month update. Each update covers one user.
Step 2: Find your activation code
Your code is in your email confirmation. You can also sign in and open the Activation Codes page, then look for the code from today's purchase. It looks like this:
Step 3: Enter your code
Copy the entire code, including the dashes (Ctrl+C).
Open Construction Contract Writer.
Go to Help → Activate Software.
If the code doesn't appear automatically, paste it in (Ctrl+V).
Click Activate, then Update Now.
⚠️ If you see a "file being updated is currently in use" error, here's the fix.
If your code isn't accepted
Check these five things:
Original license not activated. On a new computer, activate your original license first, then the update.
Extra space at the end. Copying from email often adds one. Delete any space after the last character.
Missing dashes. The code won't work without them.
No internet connection. Activation requires one.
Already used. Each code activates one user on one computer.
