If you are using last year’s release (v11.98), you can now upgrade your free version of SpendMap to the 2014 release (v12.65). You can check your current version number using the menu Help > About.
The new release includes more than 30 new features and capabilities, in addition to various performance improvements.
The upgrade utility will bring forward all your data, history, settings, etc., so you will not lose any of your work in SpendMap.
Easier Upgrade Utility
Unlike last year when you had to run an external EXE to perform the v11.64-11.98 upgrade, you can now perform full-version upgrades from within SpendMap, using the menu HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATES. However, it is a two-step process – first you need to select HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATES to download a patch to your v11.98 system that has the full-version upgrade capabilities built-in, then you need to select HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATES a second time to upgrade to v12.65.
To review complete details and instructions before actually upgrading your free Purchase Order Software, just select the menu HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATES from within SpendMap to download the patch, log back into the system, then follow the red hyperlink that you will see at the bottom of the Main Menu…

Hi
It won’t let me upgrade and says I need administrator permission. I am the only user and it’s my company, so how do I go forward?
Thanks
Yes, you need to have an Administrator account in Windows (i.e. on your PC, not your SpendMap user account) to perform the upgrade. Here’s an article on Microsoft’s website should help…

If I have to start with “help” can you tell me where that is?

The HELP menu group is at the top-right of the screen when you are at the Main Menu in SpendMap.
