Notes:

ARGUS 4 REVISION 13 patch : Minor corrections and adjustments of the program means, that from time to time new revisions of the program will appear. Your current revision number is visible on the programs titlebar just after "Argus 4.0". To see what is changed in the different revisions, click here: Revision-history . A revision like this can be downloaded by clicking the link and select "open" from the download menu. The Argus program must be closed while you install the upgrade.

The installation is automatic, but will ask you if you wish to install in the default C:\ARGUS4 folder, which is where Argus is normally installed. So just click "next" unless you specifically know, that you installed Argus 4 in a different folder. This installation is just a patch replacing the "engine" of the program. It will not change your data or preferences.

When successfuly installed, you can then open the program an check the title bar to assure, that in now says revision 13.


Argus 3 (for existing users) If you are already using Argus 3 and need a replacement or an upgrade, you can use this download. This way you can get a complete fresh installation. You do risk to overwrite your existing data, even if the installer will ask you before doing so. When installed, you will need to insert your personal registration data, which you received when you originally purchased the program. If you have lost this data, send us an email for a replacement.

Further down this page, you'll find a simpler upgrade (revision 27) which just patches your existing version with a new kernel, and you will not risk your data. If you are in doubt, you should use this first.

To download, just doubleclick the filename below and choose open and follow the instructions. Alternatively you can choose save to disk. Save anywhere on your system. When downloaded, just double-click the downloaded file.

Argus 3 revision 28 patch You must have an existing installation of ARGUS 3.1 installed to be able to use the downloadable upgrade.

To upgrade, just click the link above: "revision28 patch install". The download dialog will then ask you if you want to open or save on disk. The easiest is just to open. Dependant on your internet connection, this will take up to a few minutes. When opened, a confirmation popup will ask you if it is OK to install to C:\ARGUS. Unless you specifically have installed Argus elsewhere, just click OK. The installation itself takes only a few seconds, after you have confirmed to the operating system, that you REALLY wants to run this file.

Now start your Argus as usual and make sure, that the title bar shows PCA ARGUS 3.1-28 followed by your serial number and license name

Updating the PCA.EXE from a revision before 21 (you can see the rev.no in the Argus Help | about-box) will need an additional user number for the registration, before the program will run properly. If the program after a minute or so produces a "control code wrong" message, you need a new user ID. Just write us an email quoting your current info box information, especially: User name, Serial number and "Features" list. We will then provide the control code needed, which you just need to enter into the info-box.
