| + | **Windows users:** The current beta is built using a new code signing certificate that has not yet seen enough usage to be trusted by Microsoft. When you run the installer, you will probably be shown a dialog that says "Windows protected your PC", and the only button says "Don't run". But notice there is also a link in the upper left corner, saying "More info". Click on **"More info"**, and you'll see "Publisher: Zerene Systems LLC", and at the bottom of the dialog there's a new button "Run anyway". Click on **"Run anyway"** to install the Zerene Stacker beta. (After enough uses, Microsoft will learn to trust this certificate and not require the workaround. Thank you for your assistance!) | ||

| **Note:** On Macintosh and Linux, if you already have Zerene Stacker installed and are downloading a new version to update it, then you need to manually move the old version to trash, and move or rename the new version to replace it. Otherwise both versions will continue to be available, and you will run whichever one you happen to click on. For further information, see the **[[stacker:docs:faqlist|FAQS]]** on "Installing and Updating". On Mac, when trashing out the old version, do __**NOT**__ allow any third party uninstaller or cleanup applications like "AppCleaner" to run. In their enthusiasm to eliminate files that they think are not used, they're likely to also delete files you really do need, like your license key and Zerene Stacker configuration files. | **Note:** On Macintosh and Linux, if you already have Zerene Stacker installed and are downloading a new version to update it, then you need to manually move the old version to trash, and move or rename the new version to replace it.
