When the file has finished opening/downloading, open the file and a ‘Welcome to the QTAC Update Wizard’ window will appear.

- If you now open the QTAC software, it should display a message saying ‘The Database is out of date and needs upgrading‘. If you want to take a backup before updating (recommended) then click ‘Yes’ and follow the backup instructions. If you click ‘No’ then it will start upgrading the Qtac database right away
- Once the database upgrade has finished, it should ask you to log in with your ‘Username’ and ‘Password’
- You have successfully updated QTAC to the latest version!
What to do If you receive the ‘Files Cannot Be Created’ error message when running the QTAC Update
If you receive this message then QTAC is still open and running. Make sure you have closed down QTAC on ALL machines that have it installed.
You can also press ‘CTRL’-‘ALT’-‘DELETE’ on your keyboard and open up ‘Task Manager’, then under the ‘Applications’ and ‘Processes’ tabs of Task Manager, check that that the ‘QTAC(xxxx) (32Bit)’ is not running. If it is running then highlight it from the list and click ‘End Task’. Ensure that you do this for all PC’s that have QTAC installed.
