Upgrading to GLD^TM Version 2016

Depending on your previous version, you may be asked to reformat or exchange your key.  GLD2016 uses a timed license system which may require the license data to be transferred from an old to new key. 

If you have an older version of GLD: GLD2014 or earlier - and have purchased an upgrade to GLD2016, you will be contacted with specific instructions regarding your license key after the purchase.  For questions, please contact us at sales@grouncloopdesign.com.

PLEASE NOTE:  Since GLD uses a key protection system, the key profile is programmed specifically to your installation of the current product.  It is not possible to use both the previous version and the new version at the same time since the key will be programmed to recognize only the current version.  A previous version may still be installed on your system but it will revert to a trial mode of operation.

If you need further instructions please download the GLD 2016 User Manual;  For more information on GLD2016, please visit our supportdesk page.
