Program Updates

Blue Ribbon version 2.5 (installation instructions)

If you cannot find your version 2.5 CD, call Becky to get a duplicate. If you DO use your own CD, make sure that you also install the PATCH after installing via the CD. The patch should be installed after BR works right, while it's not running, and you do not have to be logged in as administrator.

Installation codes (in case you have misplaced your CD or paper copy with the codes)

Check your file dates (after the PATCH):

  1. Go to Blue Ribbon, the Help menu, About. Click on the turquoise arrow and check to see if your file dates are the same as the ones shown below. If not, notify Becky.

Download Martech Locks program

You only need this if you have talked to me and I have given you the instructions for downloading and using this program.
