Welcome to the FieldGenius 2012 Service Pack 1 Downloads page.

New License Key Required if Upgrading from Version 5.x or lower

If you are upgrading from an older version of FieldGenius (not 6.0.0) then a new license key is required.  If you have FieldGenius 6.0.0 already installed and licensed, then a new license key is not required.

We have an entirely new software licensing system.  Please click here to go to our Licensing Instructions page and learn how to license your new version.

FieldGenius2012 stores all instrument profiles in a reformatted version of the file: MSurvey.ini. Users upgrading from Version 4.2.0 or older must manually record all settings for Total Station and GPS receivers so you can re-enter them in the new version. Users upgrading from version 4.3.0 or newer only need to run the installer, all settings will be retained.

Release Notes

This service pack release mainly addresses bug fixes and our new licensing manager.
