CSI subscribers can experience seamless compatibility with the new VantagePoint software by using Unfair Advantage version 2.9.3 or later for data retrieval. These include all the required data for the latest VantagePoint systems. If you already use Unfair Advantage Version 2.9.3 or later, please skip ahead to the section "Creating a New VantagePoint Portfolio."

Upgrading your Unfair Advantage to version 2.9.3

You may download a complete, updated version of Unfair Advantage software free of charge through the CSI website. It will include the latest VantagePoint portfolio and assure that your VantagePoint software will run properly. Unfair Advantage 2.9.3 or higher is required for use with VantagePoint Version 7.x

We'll walk you through the process of downloading Unfair Advantage v 2.9.3:

1) Print and read these instructions, but continue displaying this letter on your computer screen.

2) Click one of the two links (shown below) on your computer screen to download CSI's Unfair Advantage for VantagePoint. (Please select the Primary link, and reserve the Backup link to use in case a problem occurs.)

·        Mirror 1 – VPCD2093.exe (246 MB)

·        Mirror 2 – VPCD2093.exe (246 MB)

3) You will be asked if you want to Run or Save this file. Choose [Save].

4) Next, a "Save As" dialog will prompt you to choose a location and filename. Navigate to "Desktop" for the "Save in" location. Do not change the filename; leave it as VPCD2093.exe. Click [Save] to proceed. The transmission may take several minutes.

5) Depending upon your online browser, a message may display when the download is complete. If you are a new Unfair Advantage subscriber you can skip ahead to step 9.

6) We need to save your CSI User ID (three letters) and CSI Customer Number (five digits) for when it is needed later. Launch the UA EZDownloader as you normally would, cancel the download and record these entries as they display on the screen. When you have the necessary information, exit the UA EZDownloader.

7) Click the "Start" button and then select "Control Panel" from the Start Menu. Next click "Add or Remove Programs." Find and select "CSI Unfair Advantage," on the menu and then click the corresponding [Remove] button. UA's programs will be removed.

8) To finish up the uninstall process, return to the Start Menu and select "My Computer." Navigate through your directories to find the "UA" folder, which is probably on your C drive (C:). Select the UA folder and press the [Delete] key. Confirm the deletion, if necessary to complete the process.

9). Through the Start Menu, return to "My Computer," which is a list of disks, drive and folders. From there, navigate to your desktop by clicking the "Up folder" icon on the toolbar. Next find and double-click "VPCD2093.exe." This will start the installation of your new software. Answer any on-screen prompts as you did when you initially installed UA.

10) When the installation is complete, double-click the UA EZDownloader icon on your Windows Desktop.

11) Quickly click the [CANCEL COUNTDOWN] button before an automatic retrieval session begins.

12) If you are already an Unfair Advantage user, then type in your three letters User ID and your five digits CSI User Number, which you recorded in step 6. If you do not have a User Id or User Number available, then please call CSI Customer Service at 561-392-8663 to acquire one. If this is not possible, then the temporary values shown provide a two-week grace period to contact CSI.

13) Click [DOWNLOAD NOW]. After this download is complete, your computer will hold a new folder identified as "C:\CSI 7x". You can complete the VantagePoint configuration as described in Chapter 4 of the new VantagePoint User's Manual.

If you have any questions on downloading or installing Unfair Advantage, please email or call CSI's Technical Support Dept.
