The System Five Polling executable must be the same version as System Five. If you are running a different version than the current release, you must contact Windward Software Support to assist with the Polling Upgrade, or you must first upgrade System Five to the current release.

Click on System Five Updates on the top of the screen.

This will take you to the main update screen where you can choose which update you wish to install.
This page will only show current release updates. If you require a non-current release (not recommended) you will need to call into Windward Software Support to arrange an appointment for this.
The installer highlighted in yellow would be the main System Five installer. The others are additional System Five modules.

To upgrade to the latest Polling executable, you must already have installed the latest version of System Five.
Once that is done you can continue to install the polling file.
To upgrade the System Five Polling executable, click the Download button next to “System Five Polling Files“.
This will download the zipped file containing S5Poll.exe to your downloads folder.
Open your downloads folder, right click on S5Poll.zip and select cut from the dropdown.
Now Browse to the bin folder. Usually on a file server this folder will be C:\Windward\System5\bin
Open that folder and paste the S5Poll.zip file there, overwriting any other S5Poll.zip file that may exist there.
Rename the existing S5Poll.exe to S5Poll.old.
Right Click on S5Poll.zip and from the pop up menu select Extract All

in the Extract to Folder, enter C:\Windward\System5\bin\
Or if your copy of System Five is in a different location, click the browse button to browse to your bin folder.
Click the Extract button to continue.

Windows will extract the new S5Poll.exe to your bin folder and the upgrade is complete.
