CardVisor Software Updates

To update the CardVisor software in the CardTool reader, please perform the following;

1.) Identify CardVisor Version

First identify what version is installed by selecting the 'about CardVisor' menu icon from the 'Options' Menu while using the Magnetic Stripe application (applicable for customers which have both the bar code and magnetic stripe CardVisor applications).  From the title of the About screen, note whether CardVisor II or CardVisor III is installed.   

Select 'About CardVisor'  CardVisor II Screen CardVisor III

For CardVisor software dating before 2003, please contact support@cardvisor.com for upgrade details.  Original purchasers will be upgraded to version III or version II at their request.

2.) Determine if Bar Code & Magnetic Stripe or Magnetic Stripe only updater is required.

There are different versions of software for the Bar Code/Magnetic stripe reader versus the Magnetic stripe only.  See the product section to determine if the bar code reader cradle is installed. 

3.) Download installation instructions

Click to download the Updater installation instructions.  Adobe Acrobat is required to access the document.  To get Acrobat reader for free, click Get Acrobat Reader 

4.) Download the appropriate updater file
