  • Personal Health Desk version 4.0 is freely available to currently registered version 2 or 3 users. Download version 4.0 from the link above and install. Copy the cReg.cds file that you received with version 2 or 3 and paste that file into the version 4.0 installation directory (c:\Program Files\PHDesk40) and version 4.0 will be licensed for your use.

This method of licensing is trickier than just using a registration code/number but you get greater flexibility - you can install Personal Health Desk on as many of your computers as you like or you can run Personal Health Desk on a USB flash drive on any Windows computer.
