Update procedure
Click Survey Pro v5.7.1 download to download the software
Survey Pro 5.7 enforces the requirement for a valid warranty prior to updates. The Survey Pro 5.7 installation program will use an Internet connection to verify the serial number of the data collector for warranty coverage. If the unit is not covered, you can continue the installation, but the software will only work in demo mode on the data collector until a warranty is purchased. You can also choose to discontinue the installation and keep the fully licensed version that is currently installed on the unit.
If an Internet connection is unavailable at the time of installation, and the software installed on the unit is the current minor update version, the installation will continue.
The installation program will warn you if your warranty has expired and you can choose to continue or cancel the installation at that point.
