• Built with the Visual Studio 2022 toolchain, and is 64-bit only. The toolchain update let the source code be upgraded to the newer C/C++ language standards and Standard Library changes, which helped catch some errors. Some processes may also see a small speed improvement.

You may first need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 redistributable package. Once installed, the redistributable can be kept up-to-date via Windows Update.

Should I upgrade to Leveller 4.3 from 4.2?

Leveller is now at version 4.4. Please check its upgrade page for more information.

Leveller 4.4 uses a different licence code protocol, so your licence code will change. You should backup both the installer and its credentials in case you need to reinstall 4.4.

Can I upgrade to the last version of Leveller 4.2?

No, sorry. For simplicity, we only maintain the latest version.
