Update The Complete AAP™ Software

Update The Complete AAP™ Software

Before you create a company file and again before you publish your final documents in The Complete AAP™ (TCAAP) it is important to update your installation to the latest version. An update is not an upgrade but a (usually) small change in programming, whether due to implementation of new features, fixes, or regulatory requirements. Unless you faithfully monitor the program’s Release Notes, there are a couple of ways to determine whether there has been an update since you last logged in to the program.

Auto Update

Click: How Can I Tell if Auto Update is Enabled?

1. Click Utilities from the main menu and select Options.
   
   Access the Options Window
   
   
   
2. Click Main Application in the left panel and confirm that the box beside Auto-Update Application is checked. Check or uncheck as preferred.
   
   
   
3. Close the Window.
   
   
4. Re-launch TCAAP.
   
   
   

TCAAP is installed with the auto-update feature enabled, but company policies or personal preferences may lead to it being intentionally disabled. If auto-update is disabled, and you wish for it to remain so, see the instructions further below this section to manually update the program.

1. Launch TCAAP.
   
   
2. Open any AAP.
   
   
3. If auto-update is enabled, a green dot appears in the lower-right corner of the program’s screen. If you see the green dot, exit the program, wait 60 seconds, and re-launch the program. The green dot should no longer be visible; if it is, repeat the exit/ wait/ relaunch process.
   
   
   
   

4. Proceed to Create a Company File.

5. Open your browser and log in to the Client Access Panel using your registration code.
   
   
6. Compare the version you noted to the version shown in the Client Access Panel. The Client Access Panel is also where you can view the Release Notes that tell you when and what has been changed. If your noted version is not different from the version in the Client Access Panel, proceed to Create a Company File.
   
   
   
7. If your version in the Client Access Panel is different than the one you noted, follow the downloading and proper installation instructions.
   
   
   
8. If the program’s data files are not installed in the default location, the screen below will appear during installation. Follow the Data Location Setup instructions to redirect the program to where your company installed it.
   
   
   
9. After completing the update installation, head to Create a Company File.
