ZIPFORM DESKTOP AND ONLINE SOFTWARE RENEWAL – Did you miss your renewal date?

Desktop Version - You may have wondered what would happens if you let your ZipForm Desktop software expire. If this happens, you will need to go back to www.IndianaRealtors.com , click on ZipForms, and reinstall the software with a new redemption code. You will not lose your transactions and you do not have to uninstall the original program.

Your next question may be what do you need to do to get updates on a regular basis. The answer to this question is to have the “Automatically Check for Updates” option enabled to receive messages regarding forms and software updates. By default, this setting is checked when you install ZipForms. When you open Zipform Desktop, it should automatically go look for updates. If it doesn't, that means the option has been disabled. To enable the software, do the following steps and you should be good to go:

• Open ZipForm Desktop software
• Cancel Transaction Manager
• Click on the Help menu
• Click on Check for Updates
• The Version Verification Manager Box will appear
• Click on Options menu
• Place a check in the box – Automatically Check for Updates
• Select this option every time the program starts

OnLine Version – What happens if you receive a message that you cannot access Zipform Online? You will need to do the following steps to get logged in:

• You will need to logon to www.IndianaRealtors.com for member verification
• Go to the ZipForm Information Center
• Click on ZipForm Online (left side of the page)
• Scroll down the page and click on the gray LOGIN button
• You should then be re-directed back to ZipFormOnline and the program should open
