This requires you do check yourself if the version currently offered for download is
more recent that the one installed on your PC. You can find the version number of
the software installed on your PC in the Help menu.
LogTag® Recorders recommend that you always use the latest version of the software.
If a newer version is available, you can download the updated version of the installer file to

check any shortcuts to the program you made, as the location of the program files can
change.
