The ColorCert Desktop download link provides an installer for licenses of ColorCert Manager, ColorCert Pressroom, ColorCert Inkroom, and ColorCert QA.

ATTENTION: Mac users who use a hardware dongle to license their system should not upgrade to 3.6.9 as the hardware dongle software is not compatible with the latest Apple application notarization requirements.
