v4.x - GPS Pathfinder Office, Mapping & GIS License Manager

(Mapping & GIS License Manager.zip - 27388 KB)

The Mapping and GIS License Manager software allows you to manage multiple licenses for the GPS Pathfinder Office software. Using the GPS Pathfinder Office License Administrator software, users of the GPS Pathfinder Office software can choose either a single use or a floating license. This software is available on the v4.x CD and the full system download. Alternatively you can download it separately from here.

  • Run setup.exe and follow the installation wizard.


DOS Utilities

(DOS UTILS.zip - 557 KB)
A number of standalone utility programs were previously included with GPS Pathfinder Office. These small programs are run from the DOS prompt. Some standalone utilities provide functions that are not available in the GPS Pathfinder Office software main menu. Some provide functions that are available in GPS Pathfinder Office, so the utilities are an alternative method for performing the task.

Installation Instructions

  • Download and unzip the file into a new directory on your PC. Check the option "Use folder names" when unzipping the file.
