After you download Path Finder there will be a file called PFX.dmg in your Downloads folder. The DMG file should auto open and show you a window with Path Finder and a link to your /Applications folder. Drag Path Finder to your Applications folder. Move to the /Applications directory and double click on Path Finder to start using Path Finder.
By default you can install Path Finder on 2 machines. If you would like to allow co-workers or family members to share your copy of Path Finder you can purchase more 'activations'. Open Path Finder and go to the Registration dialog to add more activations.
The reason we switched to a subscription service was so we could get rid of the version number.
Our goal was to have one version of Path Finder that gets continual updates that everyone can use. With versioned releases you have to maintain two builds of hte code. The currently shipping build, and the upcoming build. Now we can put all our energy into the single version of Path Finder and focus all our energy on improving that.
From here on out there won't be a Path Finder 12 or 13, it will just be "Path Finder"
First download the latest Path Finder from the website.
You will be prompted to purchase Path Finder if your Path Finder 10 license is more than a year old.
