1. Extract the ZIP to a folder (e.g., C:\ISM62_Licenses).
2. Close the ISM 62 software if it’s running.
3. Locate the license manager (often licmgr.exe or inside C:\Program Files\ISM62\license).
4. Apply the update:
   • Double-click install_license.bat (if present)
   • OR run:
     licmgr -import license.upd
   • OR replace the existing .lic file with the new one.
5. Restart the ISM 62 software.

4. Compliance and Best Practices

For organizations using ISM 6.2:

• Version Management: Ensure that all installed copies are updated to the latest available patch (UPD) to ensure compatibility with current operating systems and security standards.
• License Validity: Verify that the licenses held by the organization cover all installations. Using the software without a valid license constitutes a violation of copyright.
• Transitioning: As ISM 6.2 is an older iteration, C-DAC has moved towards newer technologies (like ISM V6.2 newer builds or web-based tools). Organizations are encouraged to check if they are eligible for upgrades or should transition to newer supported platforms like ISM Office or iLeAP, which offer better Unicode support and modern interface compatibility.

Method B: Command-Line UPD (For automation)

ISM62UPD.exe /source="C:\Licences\package.cdaczip" /silent /log="C:\Logs\ism_upd.log"
