Why do I need to update my software?
We recommend that everyone use the current versions available from the Red Mercury website. Even if your handheld came with a trial version or you recently downloaded the software from a website other than the Red Mercury website, you still may not have the latest version available.
- The new versions have been updated to run on the new Palm OS handhelds and include new and enhanced features that you don't want to miss.
- If you just got a new handheld, we recommend installing the latest version available to make sure the software runs on your new device and takes advantage of the all the new features of your handheld.
- If your UnlockCode stops working and your RegID changes every time you HotSync, installing the latest version should help.

How do I update my software?
Updating is easy. Simply download the software and install it directly over your old version.
Installing a .prc file is usually as simple as double-clicking it on your desktop computer. If that doesn't work, start the Palm Install Tool or Palm Quick Install on your desktop computer, and drag-and-drop the .prc file to the Palm Install Tool. Then HotSync your handheld, and the new version will be installed.
Note: All statistics and registration information should remain intact.
My RegID changes every time I HotSync. What do I do?
If your UnlockCode isn't working, and your RegID is changing when you HotSync, you need to update that product to the latest version. After installing the updated version, your RegID will change one last time! We can then send you a working UnlockCode.
Visit the UnlockCode Wizard to get a new UnlockCode.
Are software updates free?
Red Mercury software updates are free to registered users. There is no charge to download the latest available versions. If you need a new UnlockCode, visit the UnlockCode Wizard to get a new UnlockCode.
How do I get a new UnlockCode?
It is easy to get a new UnlockCode. Registered users can submit a request using the UnlockCode Wizard. Your UnlockCode will be sent to you automatically via email.
