New Purchases & General Questions
If you're purchasing new copies of Now Up-to-Date & Contact or wish to purchase multiple copies or copies of the Windows version, here are some of the top questions we're asked:

How do I upgrade from Version 4?
It's easy. You can purchase your upgrade online by clicking here. You'll need your version 4 serial number to verify you're eligible for an upgrade. It costs $49.95 and you'll receive your serial number upon completion of your purchase. Simply download version 5 by clicking here.

How do I upgrade from Version 3 or earlier?
Upgrades are not available from versions older than version 4. Please purchase a full copy.

How do I upgrade multiple copies?
Call us. 1-800-344-9160 or 614-413-4000. We can issue you a single serial number for all of your copies. You can also add new units in this same order and if you purchase more than 5 new copies you could be eligible for a volume discount.

Can I try version 5 and go back to version 4? Back to version 3 or earlier?
Yes for version 4, no for version 3. Version 5 supports the version 4 format. You can try 5 and go back to 4 without losing any data. Version 3 uses a different data format and when you open the files in version 4 or 5 they will be converted to the new format and cannot be opened in version 3. If you're using version 3 or older we recommend you backup your data and save a copy before running a demo of version 5.

I'm a new user. How do I get started?
Read the manual! OK, we know you're not going to do that, but we had to try. Here's what you really do: install the software, import your calendar and contacts and try it out. NUDC is very easy-to-use. Then when you want to learn more you can read the manual. You can also try our QuickStart Guide.

Can I use version 5 on my Windows PC?
Version 5 is not available for Windows. You can, however, use the current Windows version - 4.5.2 - along with version 5 on the Mac.

I have 10 Mac users and 2 PC users. What do I buy?
You'll need a 10-user Mac version 5 serial number and a 2-user Windows serial number. And since this is a volume order, you'll save by calling 1-800-344-9160 or 614-413-4000.

Can I run version 5 and connect to a version 4 server?
Yes. You can also connect version 4 users to a version 5 server.

I still use Mac OS 9. Can I use NUDC?
Yes. You can use version 4.0.3. Call us at 1-800-344-9160 or 614-413-4000.

I use NUDC on a desktop and laptop. Do I need 2 copies?
Yes. You'll need a copy of NUDC for every computer you use it on.

Where's the user manual?
We're pleased to announce that our new user manual is written by the award winning ebook publisher, Take Control Books. The new Take Control of Now Up-to-Date & Contact is available as a PDF download (free!) from this web site. We also have a printed version that you can purchase here.
