2. Temporarilly disable anti-virus software.
3. Download the latest version of InheriTax here.

6. The installation process usually takes a minute or so, and then launches InheriTax automatically.
7. When InheriTax launches, enter your Correspondant information, followed by your Customer ID on the same Correspondant screen.
8. Next, click on the license key field to navigate to the 'Enter New License Key' screen.  This screen shows step-by-step instructions, but a video on this is also available.  You can also reach the license key screen from the Main Menu if you choose.\
9. After your license key is entered, you may want to set the default zoom level to make InheriTax fit to your screen.  From the Main Menu, you can reach that setting by entering the 'Options' screen (bottom left buton).  The zoom optios are on the bottom-right hand side of the Options screen. 
10. You're good to go!
