"Downloading" simply means that you are transferring a file or program from its location on the Web to your own computer system.
It is important to save the downloaded files to a convenient, specific place on your hard drive. In that respect, see the help document titled Creating a "Download" folder directly on your Windows desktop.

There are two possible ways to access the DT Max download section:

• From this Web site.

• From the DT Max program, by selecting DT Max on the Web in the Help menu.

Any of the options above will take you to the section where our latest versions of DT Max are available for downloading.

When you are ready to download an update, follow the steps below:

1. Click the underlined link for the version you wish to download.

2. A dialogue box will appear prompting you to enter your username and password:

   • your user name is your licence number
   
   
   • the password requested is your Dr Tax password

   (Note that these two pieces of information can be found in your current version of DT Max by selecting About DT Max... from the Help menu.)

   Click OK.

3. If you get a message asking whether you would like to run the file or save it, choose to save the file.

4. When a dialogue box labeled "Download" or "Save as" appears, look for a field called "Save in" or "Destination". The entry made in this field determines where your file will be saved on your hard drive.

5. Click the little arrow next to this field to see the list of various items and folders currently on your computer's hard drive. If you don't see the folder into which you want to download a DT Max update, navigate through this list to find it.

   Remember the hint above regarding the convenient desktop download folder.

   Double-click the folder name that you want to select. It should now appear in the "Save in" or "Destination" field. If you have created the "Download" folder on your desktop, this entry should be "Download".

6. Click the "Save" button to begin downloading the update file to your hard drive, where it will be saved.

7. Once the file is fully downloaded, go to the location where you have saved it and double-click its filename (it should be the "Download" folder on your desktop). Further instructions will appear for you to follow, depending on which version you have downloaded.
