Installation

Download Link for SpinFire.x64.exe. During installation, you can select your preferred language through the installation wizard. This executable also allows you to upgrade from one version to the next without uninstalling the previous version.

⚠️ SPINFIRE INSIGHT USERS PLEASE NOTE:

If you are using a floating license, you must ensure that your Floating License Manager (FLM) is updated to version 11.17.2.0 before upgrading SpinFire.

Without this update, your SpinFire license will not work until FLM is updated or until you downgrade SpinFire to a compatible version while waiting for your I.T. Admin to update the License Manager.

How to Check Your Floating License Manager Version

  1. Open LMTools.exe on your License Server.
    (Located at: C:\Program Files\Actify\Floating License Manager)

  2. Click Help > About to check the currently installed version.
