Reinstall —

Three steps, about a minute. Nothing is installed on your computer.

  1. Plug the dongle into your computer

    Straight into a USB port — not a wall charger, and not a hub if you can avoid it. Use a cable that transfers data; many USB-C cables and adapters carry power only, which lights the dongle up without the computer ever seeing it. The cable that came with your phone is a safe choice.

  2. Download the updater and unzip it

    It contains the new software and a small program for each type of computer. Nothing gets installed.

  3. Double-click the one for your computer

    On a Mac: AxisForge-Update-Mac.command
    On Windows: AxisForge-Update-Windows.bat

    It finds your dongle, updates it, and tells you when it is done — usually in under a minute. Then reconnect in the app as usual.

    On a Mac you may see a warning the first time, because the file came from the internet. Right-click it and choose Open instead of double-clicking, and it will run.

Your access expires in —. You can download the file more than once inside that time if something goes wrong.
