MAPublisher is licensed for use on a single computer and, once activated, will be node-locked and will only function on that computer. Therefore, before proceeding with installation and activation, please ensure that MAPublisher is installed on the appropriate computer.

The MAPublisher installer will detect previous versions of MAPublisher already installed. The installer will uninstall the previous version of MAPublisher before installing the latest release. During the uninstall process, an option will be given to backup custom coordinate systems and MAPublisher LabelPro rules.

For users intending to use MAPublisher LabelPro, a system restart is recommended after installing MAPublisher. This ensures that the included fonts are installed correctly.
