Unless you just downloaded this software from our web site or one of our mirror sites you should visit our web site for the latest version or, if you already have the software installed, click the "Check For Update" command on the Help menu.

A. ORDERING

The price is just $24.95 US for a single user license.  You can order online by visiting http://www.camdevelopment.com/register.htm  You can also order online or by US check/money order using the built-in order wizard on the introduction screen displayed when the software starts.

ALL ORDERING METHODS ARE COMPLETELY SECURE!

B. UPDATING/UPGRADING

This is a major upgrade from registered users of V6.x and older versions and a minor update for registered users of MPD 2000.  If you are a registered user of V6.x or older you can upgrade at a reduced price by visiting http://www.camdevelopment.com/upgrade.htm  You can also upgrade by US check/money order using the built-in order wizard on the introduction screen displayed when the software starts.

NOTE: All upgrade requests are verified manually.  Upgrade pricing is only available to registered users.  Please be sure to upgrade under the same name/company you originally ordered under.

Updating an older version of 2000

Make sure MPD is not running.  Install the update in the same folder your older version is installed in.  Setup will update the necessary files.  You will not lose any information or settings.

Upgrading from V6.x

Install the new version to a different folder than your previous version (by default setup will do this).  When you are happy with the new version you can uninstall your previous version.

If you are presented with the Create New Diary screen the first time you run the new version and you already have a diary file created you should select Cancel and choose Browse on the Open Diary screen to select your exisitng diary file. If you want to create a new diary file follow the steps on the Create New Diary screen.

When you open a V6.x diary for the first time a copy is made (with the extension .ddf.v6x) so you can revert to V6.x in case you do not want to upgrade.  If you wish to revert to using V6.x instead of upgrading, you will need to rename the .ddf.v6x file to a .ddf file.

*** NOTE: Changes you make in the new version are NOT saved into the .ddf.bak file.

Address Book and To-Do entries will need to be exported from the old version as text files and imported to the new version, or may need to be re-entered.

Upgrading from V4.x or V5.x

You need the Diary Conversion Wizard to import entries from MPD V4.x and MPD V5.x.  The DCW will take your individual entry files created by older versions of MPD and import them into the new format, single file diary used by the new version.

For a free copy of the Diary Conversion Wizard visit http://www.camdevelopment.com/mpd.htm  Please follow the conversion steps carefully.
