Step 2: Use the tools on the ProSeries Tool Hub
With the newest updates, when you first launch the Tool Hub it will run a scan on your computer to help identify any year of ProSeries that is out of date and prompt you to update them. This needs to be done to make sure you have an important security update. Without this update the prior year tax programs will not open. See here for more information about this change. To apply the update select each product under Program and then Update Selected until all years and editions have been updated. 
The hub is a launchpad for the tools you’ll use to fix your issue. Each tab has a set of tools for addressing different types of problems:
| Problem | Tab | Additional Notes |
| View alerts that have been sent to your Tool Hub application | Alerts | These notifications will provide critical information such as IRS alerts affecting filing, systems outages, etc. You will continue to receive program specific notifications via in-product alerts. |

This will run a check to make sure your prior year software meets the minimum requirmenets to continue logging into the program and help you update any year that does not meet the minimum. |
If the tool from the tool hub isn’t installed, it'll automatically download it in the background. It can take 2-3 minutes to complete. If you close out of the install, the tool may not run.
