Updates

Current Software Version:  3.1.7
Released:  2/06/03

As software updates become available, they will be posted to this page.  The Revision History table gives a brief description of the changes in each software release.

Updates can be downloaded and installed free of charge, if you are an authorized CDMS user.  Updates are only compatible with CDMS Version 3 and above.

To determine if a software update is newer than the software currently installed on your system, check the version number.  The version number can be seen on the Metal Samples "splash" screen that appears briefly on program startup, and can also be found on the About screen.  The About screen can be accessed from any of the main program modules under the Help menu.

If a newer version is available, and you wish to install it:

  1. Close the Corrosion Data Management Software, if it is currently open on your system.
  2. Click here to begin the CDMS Version 3.1.7 update.
  3. Select Run this program from its current location, and click OK.
  4. The update is a self-extracting zip file.  The self-extractor utility should begin automatically.
  5. If you installed the CDMS software to the default folder (C:\Program Files\CDMS), you may proceed to the next step.  If you installed the CDMS software to a different folder, you must type its location in the Unzip To Folder: field.
  6. Make sure Overwrite Files Without Prompting is checked.
  7. Click Unzip.
  8. The update will be unpacked in the CDMS program folder, over the old files.  The update files must replace the original files for the update to take effect.
