 +<tip c n>Unfortunately there is no easy way to determine which version you can download without clicking INTO that version and seeing if you can download it.  You can start clicking on the latest version in the list and work your way up until you see a link to download that version. </tip>
  
 +Once you click on a version you will be able to choose **new installation** or **updated existing installation** like mentioned above.  Choose the option you want.  If you have download access to the version you clicked on you will see that the **Executable Wizard Package** and **Zip Package** are linked and clickable.  You can click the link you want and the software download will start.

-As a customer of Geodesic Solutions, you will have access to your own personal **[[https://geodesicsolutions.com/geo_store/customers/|client area]]** on our site that allows you to access and download your software and available updates any time, day or night. Once your order is placed, you will receive an email with instructions on how to access the "client area" (different from the Support Center login). 
- 
-Once you access your client area you will see a screen similar to the image displayed below. Click on the **View** button for the particular order that you want to download.

-On this screen, click the **Download** button for the package you wish to download.  Note that the //Fresh Install// package downloads will be near the top of the page, and the //Update// packages will be near the bottom. 
  
 <tip n c>**NOTE:** As we make new releases of the software available in the "client area", you may see additional downloads for your edition. These may have an **RC1** or similar postfix added to the end of the version number. RC stands for Release Candidate, which means that the download is being proposed for release. So, although the RC release is available to you, it is still undergoing some internal testing. Typically, if we post an RC to the [[https://geodesicsolutions.com/geo_store/customers/|client area]] it is safe to download. For example, you may see //Version 4.5.0RC1// available for download.</tip> <tip n c>**NOTE:** As we make new releases of the software available in the "client area", you may see additional downloads for your edition.
