If you have the optional Security feature or you have purchased a multi-user copy of Design Manager, the Login Window will appear.  Enter the Password DM.  Unique Passwords should be assigned for each person that uses Design Manager.  The “DM” Password may also be changed on the Company Information - Passwords Tab after successfully entering the software for the first time.

Note: The Password feature uses your computer’s date and time.  Make sure that the date and time are the same on all of the workstations in the company.

 

Update Your Design Manager

Once Design Manager is run for the first time, you will be prompted to run the Live Update feature to download the most recent version of Design Manager.  It is highly recommended that you run the Live Update now.  If you choose not to, it is imperative that you run the Live Update before entering any Projects and Specifications or converting your data from a prior version of Design Manager.  For more information on the Live Update feature, see Live Update under Additional Features.
