How to update your Little Math software to the latest version

BEFORE THE UPDATE:

Make a backup of all of your customized lessons (including those which you have downloaded which are not included in the curriculum) into Preset or Media Set files.

ONLY EXPORT CUSTOMIZED FILES, not the whole curriculum, otherwise, you might not be able to use the new curriculum properly because of word-merging issues.

Save the backup file(s) in a folder other than the BrillKids folder in your computer.

You can easily restore your downloads and customized files by using this backup file.

 

UPDATING TO LITTLE MATH 2.0 AND UP:

1. Uninstall your current Little Reader COMPLETELY by choosing to "remove all preset settings and/or all media files" in the uninstall wizard. Click here to learn how to uninstall a program.

Note: Make sure to delete all preset settings and/or all media files.

2. After uninstalling, go to Account Management > Little Math Software.

3. Click on the DOWNLOAD LITTLE MATH button to get installer file for the latest Little Math software version. When prompted, choose to SAVE the installer.

4. After downloading finishes, double-click on the zip file.

NOTE: If you get the message "License Key Already Exists", just ignore the error message. It may mean that your license key is already in your PC.

[Optional] After installing, you may want to import the customized and downloaded files you backed up previously. Double click on your exported files to import them.

 

FOR NON-MAJOR UPDATES (same major versions, 2.0.xx to 2.0.xx):

There are two ways you can do this: via the upgrade alert or by downloading from your BrillKids Account:

A. Using the upgrade alert

1. Connect to the Internet and launch Little Math, and it will automatically check for updates.

2. If a new version is available, a window will pop up and prompt you to download the new version of Little Math. Click on Yes to allow Little Math download the new installer for you and will proceed with upgrading your installation.

NOTE: If the update prompt doesn't appear, you may just update Little Math manually (see next section)

B. Updating manually

2. Go to Tools, then click on Software Information on the left.
