MyCalyx is a web portal that Calyx customers can use to download the current version of Point and PointCentral as well as manage their accounts online (add seats, designate users, e.g.).

A one-time license purchase is made for each account and an individual seat is purchased for each user. After the initial purchase is made, organizations can purchase additional seats at any time without purchasing another license.

Create an installation setting (Optional for several users sharing files within a network)

Recommended for installing Point on multiple computers in a network environment or PointCentral (Point Data Server).

If you are a single user, you do not need to create an installation setting and can skip this step. Or if you already have a previous version of Point installed, you can skip this step because the upgrade will retain all existing configuration settings.
