ScreenPact Help
Update ScreenPact
Install v1.2.3 over an existing version while preserving supported family settings.
Update over the installed version
Run the newer ScreenPact installer without uninstalling first, then verify the family settings and test Start, Pause and network recovery.
A parent’s moment
A newer release is available
You want the fixes without rebuilding the family plan or accidentally deleting local settings.
Do not uninstall first
For a normal update, run the new installer directly over the existing installation. Uninstalling first can invoke data-retention choices that are unnecessary for an overlay update.
Run the new installer
Approve UAC and complete Setup. Do not start a second installer while the first is running.
Check preserved settings
Verify the six-digit passcode, remaining time, weekday/weekend limits, today’s adjustment, schedules, Protection and activity history.
Test network recovery
Start and Pause once, then have a parent temporarily disable Protection and confirm ordinary internet access returns.

Legacy five-digit profiles
Version 1.2.3 retires old five-digit profiles instead of migrating them. Protection starts off, internet remains available and the parent creates a new six-digit passcode and plan.
