• Click Yes when asked if you would like to install the new version
• A progress bar will appear and the files will take up to 8 – 10 minutes to transfer
• Once the installer files have downloaded, a white meetingmaker splash screen will appear and an installer wizard will launch.  Click next
• You will see a Meeting Maker setup progress bar appear which will progress quickly
• When asked about local data options, leave the selection on its default/recommended selection and click next
• You will be asked if you want to set Meeting Maker as your default calendaring software, click Yes

You should now be signed into the new meeting maker and may feel free to explore the menus and functions.
