Warning!
Important: After upgrading the NIVOMAX software to v3.4.1+ from v3.1.0, all S1000D data libraries must be updated to the latest version.
Due to changes in HTML and styling, older data library versions are incompatible with NIVOMAX v3.4.1+. Similarly, new library update archives are incompatible with older versions of the software. Failure to update will result in poorly formatted on-screen and print outputs.

Where to Get Them
Existing NIVOMAX Viewer Users:
Download NIVOMAX Viewer v3.4.2 by clicking the System Update Available icon from the Main Toolbar.
Important Note: Users will see the legacy software download description where the application name is shown on a single line. In version 3.4.1+, it is displayed on two lines for the Network Edition. The missing second line in version 3.1.0 causes the name to be displayed only as “NIVOMAX Network Edition” for both Data Server and Client Viewer downloads. Therefore, please note that the first link in the list is for the Data Server, and the second link is for the Client Viewer.
New installations:
Go to your ePubs Supplier’s Self-Serve Portal > Download Center.
