CALSoft 5 users can upgrade to the new CALSoft 6 software and take advantage of a special upgrade discounted price.  Here is what you need to do:

  1. To place your order, go to tcal.com/calsoft-software.
    In the CALSoft Version field, choose the applicable upgrade price option.
    To take advantage of the special upgrade pricing, you must enter your CALSoft 5 Activation Code in the field provided.

  2. Your CALSoft 5 Activation Code was provided to you in an email when you purchased CALSoft.
    If you do not have access to the code, you will need to update your copy of CALSoft 5 as the current version does not show the activation code.
    To update the software:
    • Click "Check for Update" in the bottom right hand corner of the main screen. (Your computer must be on-line)

Note: By upgrading, CALSoft 5 will continue to run on your computer after the upgrade to the new CALSoft 6, but your old CALSoft 5 activation code will be disabled and will no longer be able to be used to activate CALSoft 5.
