How to Install PeakTrace License Update

May 4, 2025 By Daniel

A common question is how to install the PeakTrace License Update File so that the license on your USB key is current. It is a very simple process.

1. When you receive the update file (most likely by email) save it in a location you can access from the computer where the USB key is installed. Note that the update file will have a green down arrow (see the circled file in the figure below) and the file name extension will end in a U (e.g. 2-1862648.WibuCmRaU)

2. Double click on the update file to install it. Press Yes.

3. If the update installs correctly then you should see the below window. Press OK to finish.

4. You can now check your new License and the days and units remaining on the bottom left hand side of the Options window of Auto PeakTrace.
