All versions of Auto PeakTrace above 5.70 require the latest CodeMeter Runtime (check PeakTrace:Box Downloads for the currently recommended version; 9.10 is current for modern Windows/Linux, while legacy Windows XP/7 require CodeMeter 6.80). To update you first need to check which version of the CodeMeter Runtime you have installed on your computer. To do this:
1. Open the CodeMeter Control Center from the Windows Start menu (search for CodeMeter Control Center). Please make sure that the USB Key supplied by Nucleics is plugged into your computer.

2. Click on the Help menu and then on About.

3. The version number will be shown on the About window. If your runtime version is less than 6.80 then you need to update the CodeMeter Runtime. The latest CodeMeter runtime can be downloaded from Wibu. If you are running PeakTrace on Windows XP you will need to use CodeMeter 6.80. This version can be downloaded from the PeakTrace:Box downloads page.
4. Run the Codemeter Runtime Installer following the prompts. After it finishes restart your computer.
After updating CodeMeter, you may also want to run Update Time Certificates on your USB key.
