This new version is available for free download on FasTrak’s website and can be immediately installed and used if your license is covered by a maintenance agreement. If your maintenance has expired within the past two years, a reinstated maintenance agreement can be purchased. If you need assistance determining the maintenance status of your license, please do not hesitate to contact our sales team.

Downloading this latest version requires a login to FasTrak’s website.
If it is not yet available, contact us for obtaining your login or directly download the latest software.

For obtaining the full benefit of offline program simulation and the security of version control and automated backup, we recommend users of the 505WorkShop standalone software to migrate their license to the 505WorkShop Suite or 505WorkShop SuperSuite.

 

* Important *

Program files created and saved by Version V4.80 and higher will not be accessible by older versions of WorkShop due to an updated program file format in V4.80. Attempting to open the newer program file in an older version of WorkShop will result in an “Error reading FSS file” message. V4.80 and higher, up to latest version, WILL accept program files created and saved in all earlier versions of WorkShop. WorkShop will warn you if you attempt to save a program file to a new format, which will allow you save a backup copy of the file if necessary.
