Easily Update your BCSS or PPSS Software

Please note: If the version number of your software is less than 5.1.3948 it will be necessary to back up your data, download, uninstall and reinstall your program and send your data files to support for adjustment. Please email support for assistance.

If the version number is higher than 5.1.3948, then you may use this more simple procedure for updating your program:

1. Right click on the Start Button and select Explore.
2. Double click on C:.
3. Double click on Program Files. (You should see a list of software programs installed on the PC.)
4. Double click on BCSS for Best Consignment Software (or PPSS for Pawnbroker Pawn Shop Software).

5. 

6. Right click on bcss.exe (or ppss.exe) and rename the file to bcss-old.exe (or ppss-old.exe). (If your PC is set to NOT show file extensions you may only see bcss - not bcss.exe. Either way a small picture of a fox will be to the left of the correct file.)
7. 
   
   

   (with files extensions)

   OR

   (no file extensions)

   
   
   A common mistake at this point is to rename the BCSS FOLDER to 'bcss-old'. It is the filename, bcss.exe (or bcss) that is to be renamed.

   After renaming the filename should look like this:

   (with files extensions)

   OR

   (no file extensions)

   
   
8. Reboot the PC.
9. Double click the following link corresponding to your BCSS/PPSS edition to download the newest version:

   BCSS Intro BCSS Deluxe BCSS Diamond BCSS Virtual

   PPSS Intro PPSS Deluxe PPSS Diamond PPSS 24karat

10. On the next screen that appears select 'Save'.
11. Navigate to C:\Program Files\BCSS (or PPSS) following these steps:
    1. Click on My Computer.
    2. Double click on C:.
    3. Double click on Program Files.
    4. Double click on BCSS.

       

12. Click Save again. (The bcss.exe file will be saved in the BCSS Program Folder.)

That's all there is to it. The new Application File will contain the most recent bug fixes and added features.

If the update was done to resolve an issue, please verify that the issue has been resolved. If it has not been resolved, please email support, explain the issue, relay the error message (if any) and what action was taken prior to the issue arising.

This update adds a button in BCSS (named Send Data) to the far right on the Main Menu. In the future, if we need to see your data files, you’ll be able to send them easily just by pressing that button. Doing so uploads and stores your data files on our server where we can access them.

This will also serve as a free backup of your data so if you need an emergency copy of your data, we will have a copy of the last uploaded files (assuming that the upload was successful).

When uploading, allow plenty of time for larger databases. If the upload is too slow or times out, contact your ISP to increase your upload speed.
