To apply the update please download the appropriate file to the PC where your Bacsactive-IP installation is situated and follow the instructions below.

1. Make sure that all users are logged out of the Bacsactive-IP desktop.
2. Copy the downloaded update to the following folder:
   
   c:\Program Files\Payactive\BACSactive\Server\Extensions\
   (There is already a file called ProcessingDates.pyc there so you will be prompted to over-write it. Click Yes to replace the file.)
3. Restart the Bacsactive-IP Desktop software. This should be done in one of two ways depending on your setup. If the software is running as a service, follow section a below. If the software is running in the Windows System Tray follow section b below.
   
   
   1. Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services.
      Restart the service called Bacsactive-IP by highlighting it and clicking the “Restart Service” button in the toolbar.
   2. Locate the Bacsactive-IP icon in the Windows System Tray and right-click on it and select “Stop Bacsactive-IP”.
      Right click on the icon again and select “Close”.
      Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Bacsactive-IP Server.
