Warning! If you are updating from a version earlier than CDM+ 8.1.1 or CDM+ Pro 8.1.1, CDM+ 8.1.2 must convert existing pledges. Depending on the number of pledge records you have entered, this could take several hours. When installing CDM+ 8.1.2, you will be given the option to skip the pledge conversion process and perform it at a time when it is convenient to let the process run. You will need to run the pledge conversion before printing Giving Statements or performing any other actions that include pledges.
If your current version is CDM+ 8.1.1 or CDM+ Pro 8.1.1, your pledges have already been converted, and installing CDM+ 8.1.2 should be quite rapid.
CDM+ 8.1.2 has lots of under-the-hood enhancements you'll appreciate as you perform your daily tasks, plus several new features you won't want to do without, including automatic backups! For more on what's so special about CDM+ 8.1.2, check out Why Update to CDM+ 8.1.2?
