Release 8.1 Update - For Existing Customers Only

Download (includes user manual) 7.1MB

June 15, 2007 Version
This downloadable upgrade is the final copy of Release 8.1  We will not be producing future upgrades to 8.1 as it has been replaced by Release 9.0.   You do not need to install this upgrade before installing 9.0.  It is made available for those customers who are still using Release 8 and want to have the latest version.  It is a free upgrade if you already have Release 8 and a current support contract.  If not, contact us for upgrade information.

Before installing the upgrade you must obtain from us a code that the program will request the first time you attempt to open it. If you do not enter the correct code the program will be disabled until you obtain it.   Call customer support at (800) 228-6589 to obtain the code.

Downloading the Upgrade
To download the upgrade, click on the link above.  Select the option to Open or Run the file, then wait for the download to complete, after which the Install Wizard will begin. Click Next and make sure you specify the correct folder where you want to install the program.

If you are creating a new installation, the default folder name is C:\TP8, but you can change that if necessary.  If you will by running the program on a network, then instead of installing it on your local drive C you must install it on the network drive. 

If you are installing the program as an upgrade, you must specify the same drive and folder where your existing copy of the program is located.   Otherwise, you will simply be installing a second blank copy of the program. If you do not know the folder name, start up your existing copy of Tussman and depending on the version you have click on Help, then About the Tussman Program, or click on Info.  The line that begins with the word “Directory” will indicate the current drive and directory.  Copy that exactly into the Folder field in the SetupWizard.

Complete the installation by clicking Next three times, then click Install, then click Finish.  You do not have to enter or change any information in those screens.  After clicking Finsh, the program will start up automatically and ask you for the upgrade code.  When the main screen comes up, check to make sure your current list of clients is there by clicking on File, Clients.  This will confirm you have installed the upgrade in the correct folder.

If you will be running the program on a local area network, the program should be installed only once on the server, as described above (you do not actually have to be at the server; it can be installed from a workstation as long as you enter the correct drive and directory when asked by the Install Wizard).  Do not install the program on each workstation as that will simply create separate copies of the program on each local computer.
