5. A window will show the progress of the download as the data downloads. If you have selected Notifications mode in the Settings window, a notifications bubble will alternatively appear with the progress bar incrementing as it downloads.
6. Once successfully downloaded, a window will open showing the completed software download.

Updater will also accept licence serial keys to be entered from selected boxed software.
Once the serial key has been validated, it will be added to the AmiSphere account currently logged in. This software will be viewable under the My Purchases section and any applicable version updates will be made available through Updater.
1. To add software on the AmiSphere account, first start Updater tool and login to your account by entering your AmiSphere username and password. Click the OK button to proceed.
