Current Versions

The current shipping versions of our software are listed below. These versions support Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 (both 32 and 64 bit). We recommend you run a 64 bit edition of Windows so that you may take advantage of the enormous investment we have made in the x64 Edition. Please note that version 14.20 is the last version that has the potential of running on Windows XP (we really mean it this time).

PLS-CADD14.2032 bit and x64 Editions
PLS-POLE14.2032 bit and x64 Editions
TOWER14.2032 bit and x64 Editions
SAPS14.2032 bit and x64 Editions

We strongly encourage you to upgrade to the current release of all the applications you own. To do so please use the Help/Download Upgrade command built into your PLS software and select the option "I need to request an upgrade code". This would also be a good time to use the Help/Check for Updated Manual command to obtain the version 14.20 edition of the manuals. As always, we welcome your suggestions and comments on our software.
