StrongARM upgrades

This page was last updated on 6 Dec 1999.

All upgrades are now shipping.

To upgrade, we need your serial number and your money - no discs or dongles need to be returned. If you cannot find your serial number but have registered, your address (including postcode) may be sufficient, but this will almost certainly delay your order.

Also see the a StrongARM question and answer document which will also be updated with the most frequently asked questions about our StrongARM products. This page also has some speed comparisons for our software running on the StrongARM.

Note that the following versions of software shipped with Impression work without modification on the StrongARM:

• WordWorks 1.06
• Equasor 1.04
• TableMate 1.10i

These versions will be shipped with the upgrade only if our records indicate that you do not already have them. Anyone with Impression x.04 or later should already have the correct versions of this software.
