Installing and Upgrading¶
Installing on a new computer¶
To install QuickJump, download and run the installer by clicking “Download” on this page. The default EXE installer does not require administrator permissions. It installs the product for the user running the installer.
For the Enterprise edition customers, we provide an MSI installer for centralized silent deployment.
After running the installer, QuickJump will start automatically. Hit Ctrl+Shit+J to open the Main Window and start using it.
Note
You can change the hotkey combination in the Options Window.
Upgrading QuickJump¶
To install a new version of QuickJump, follow the same steps as you did when you originally installed it. There is no need to uninstall the previous version prior to installation.
Important
Upgrading without uninstalling works only for the same type of installer: EXE to EXE or MSI to MSI. If you need to change to a different installer type, you have to uninstall first.
Tip
You can use the Checks For Updates command to check if there is a new version available.
Changing computers¶
To install the product on a new computer use the same steps you used for the original installation (see above).
To move the license:
- Version 2: Follow these instructions to move your license to the new computer.
- Version 1: Uninstall QuickJump from the old computer (Using Windows Control Panel) to release the license key for reuse on the new computer.
Important
When you purchase a license, be sure to save the email with your license key, so you can reinstall the product in the future.
MSI Installer and installing for all users¶
The default installer provided on the download page is an EXE installer. It installs the product for the current user’s profile.
MSI installer is available for customers of the Enterprise edition. The MSI installer requires Administrator permissions and installs the product for all users on a computer. If you previously installed the product using the EXE installer, it needs to be uninstalled before using the MSI.
Large-scale deployment and administration¶
For large installations, it is not practical to walk around in order to install and configure the software and enter license key on every workstation. For the enterprise edition customers, we provide a way for system administrators to centrally install and manage QuickJump. This approach starts making sense for sites over 20 users and scales up nicely. We have customers that manage installations for thousands of users. Please contact us for details.
How to uninstall QuickJump¶
You can uninstall QuickJump using the Windows Control Panel, just like any other Windows Application.
