# Installing the Jacobs Software

## Installation from CD

If you received the software on CD, simply place the CD/DVD in your drive. The installation will start automatically.

If you have disabled your CD/DVD drive’s autoplay function, please launch the installation manually.
You will be guided through the installation process in a few easy steps.

After completing the installation, you can immediately launch and use the software.

## Installing from the Website

After downloading the installer file, launch the file on your computer.
You will need an Internet connection to complete the installation as some components of the Jacobs software and the current price lists need to be downloaded.

## Updating the Software and Price Lists

You can start an update manually at any time, but note that the software automatically checks the availability of new program versions and price lists whenever you place an online order.
This keeps your price lists up to date (before you place your online order).
