    Software Updates

    Assess Now Software Update (new printing feature in Data Reports tab)
    This update will provide you with the ability to print the reports generated in the ‘Data Reports’ tab of the Assess Now Data Management and Reporting tool.

    IMPORTANT! BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE UPDATE:

    1. Be sure to exit out of all Assess Now programs you may be currently running.
    2. Locate the Assess Now folder on your PC or MAC (see instructions below to locate this folder) and copy it to another location on your computer as a backup file.

    PC Version (13.3MB)

    1. Download the new file from the button above. Save the file to your Desktop. It will download as a ‘RANN.exe’ icon with a check mark. Please make sure you are not running the Assess Now software while performing this procedure.
    2. Locate the Assess Now folder on your PC. The spot in which you will most likely find it is: C:\Program Files\Assess Now
    3. Copy this existing Assess Now folder to somewhere else on your computer as a backup precaution. If things go wrong with the update you can simply re-insert this folder and everything will go back to normal.
    4. Make sure the .exe file is called RAAN.exe. If it is not, you will need to rename the new file to be the same as what you have in your folder.
    5. Add the new RAAN.exe file (the download) by copying it to the Assess Now folder. It will ask you if you would like to replace the file. Click OK or YES.
    6. You will now be able to relaunch the software as you have done in the past and everything should be in the same state as before.
    7. To test if this update was successful for you, log in and go to the Data Reports tab. Do you see the Print button located underneath the Group Reports box on the left side of the screen? If so, your update was successful! If not, please contact technical support for further assistance.
    Mac Version (13.4MB)

    1. Download the new file from the button above and unzip the file. Once the file is unzipped, you should have an icon named RAAN. This will show up in the same place as the zip file (usually).
    2. Right click on the RAAN icon and select Get Info.
    3. In the Name & Extension field rename the file Assess Now.app then close the Info panel.
    4. Copy this existing Assess Now folder to somewhere else on your computer as a backup precaution. If things go wrong with the update you can simply re-insert this folder and everything will go back to normal.
    5. Locate the Assess Now folder on your Mac. This may vary from machine to machine.
    6. If you’re not sure where this folder is, first try opening the Macintosh HD (picture of a hard drive on your desktop). This will open the finder window.
    7. Open the folder named Applications.
    8. Open the Folder called Assess Now.
    9. Open the folder called Assess Now Data.
    10. Add the new Icon “Assess Now” to the folder.
    11. A copy dialogue will appear. Click “replace,” which will overwrite the old file.
    12. You will now be able to relaunch the software as you have done in the past and everything should be in the same state as before.
    13. To test if this update was successful for you, log in and go to the Data Reports tab. Do you see the Print button located underneath the Group Reports box on the left side of the screen? If so, your update was successful! If not, please contact technical support for further assistance.
