What should I do before I download?

Some programs may prevent communication with our servers. For best download performance and to protect the integrity of the downloaded file, please check any of the following before you download:

  • Firewall-These are designed to prevent downloads from non-approved sites and can sometimes target legitimate files.

  • Anti-Virus Programs-These can cause problems by scanning a download in progress, causing the download to become corrupt or damaged.

  • Download Managers or Accelerators-These can sometimes interfere with the download process by simultaneously accessing portions of the download file multiple times, causing it to become corrupt or damaged.

Please check the settings of any of these products to ensure they are not interfering with your download. If you need assistance with this process, please contact the product’s manufacturer.

I have finished downloading where do I find it?
The best way to know where your download saved is to pay close attention to the "Save As" window at the beginning of the download process. Once you have clicked the download button and selected the option to save the file, you will be given the "Save As" window, which shows you exactly where your download is being saved to on your computer.

If you know the filename, you can do a search on your computer for it.

Do not rename the file you're downloading, it may cause installation problems.

Is downloading the same as installing?
No. A download is simple file transfer. Installation is the unpacking and loading of the software. Most software walks you through this process once you've successfully downloaded the file from our site. If you need assistance with installation please click here.
