Software Updates

Instructions for electronically updating Georgia Pacific Engineered Lumber Software Applications from BlueLinx Corporation.

Your software applications expire in November each year and must be updated to ensure continued use. Updates are available on CD or by downloading from the BlueLinx Internet location. Updating your software requires three steps:

1. Verification of your authorization to continue to use the software
2. Downloading the update file to your computer or receiving a CD by mail.
3. Running the update file.

In order to electronically verify your authorization, you must enter your company name and FASTBeam license code. This information and your last name are checked against our database for authorization to receive the latest update. The licensed company name and license code are contained in your FASTBeam license file and must be entered exactly as shown on the order form. In order to correctly enter the information on the verification web site, open FASTBeam, point your mouse to the Help menu, then point to "Company info". When the Company Information window pops up, click the "Print Order Form" button. Retrieve the printed order form and locate your company name and license code. (Note, if FASTBeam has expired, the order form will print automatically.)

Locate the following information on the update request form. If you would prefer to receive the update on CD, fax the request form to BlueLinx Corporation at 770-221-8902. Be sure to verify that all information is correct. (Changes can be made in the Company Info pop-up window.)

Enter information in the appropriate fields on the web page. NOTE: THE INFORMATION MUST BE ENTERED EXACTLY AS SHOWN IN ORDER FORM TO BE VERIFIED. These fields are similar to a "user ID and password" and must be entered carefully and correctly. If you receive a message stating you are not authorized to receive the update, please check the information carefully before calling for assistance.

1. After entering your company name, license code, your name and email address, (a valid email address is important for future communications.) click on "Continue to License Agreement". Click on "I Agree" at the end of the license agreement to continue to the download file location.
2. Click on the highlighted text "Download application update". When the download pop-up window appears choose "Save to disk". Choose "Desktop" as the Save location. Click OK.
3. Close the Engineered Lumber program before running the update. Locate the update file on your Windows^® desktop and double-click on the file to complete the update. It is important to close the software application before running the update, otherwise the update will not be complete.
