As an additional benefit and convenience to our customers, DORC® has added the ability for you to download the latest version of our PMS software directly from this website. 

DORC® recently released version 2024 of the PMS software. This software version incorporates many new features and capabilities that are unmatched in the industry. Many of these new features are very processor intensive, such as the ability to electronically zoom in on most images - including live video. Although this version is extremely powerful and feature rich, it has become clear that there will be minimum computer hardware configurations that are capable of running this software. The absolute MINIMUM requirement is an i5 processor of 2.9GHz or greater, running Windows 10/11® Professional/Home (64bit) with 8GB of RAM. For best performance an i7 processor, Windows 10/11® Professional/Home (64bit) with 16GB of RAM, dedicated graphics, a Full HD (1920 x 1080) monitor and an SSD hard drive is highly recommended. Your PC must have at least one USB 3.0 “SuperSpeed” port.

If eligible, and your PC system meets these requirements you can download the upgrade now. If not, we can upgrade your computer to the latest configuration. To obtain details on computer upgrades please contact DORC® directly, or for international customers, contact your local representative. 

IMPORTANT: Close ALL programs, especially PMS before starting an upgrade! On XP Professional systems, you MUST be logged on as an ADMINISTRATOR before installing the software. Once the upgrade is complete, SHUT DOWN AND THEN PHYSICALLY PULL OUT THE POWER CORD ON BOTH THE COMPUTER AND THE ZX-1 BEFORE RESTARTING. This process will force the updated firmware to reload.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT:
Although ALL new systems ship with an image of the PC's hard drive, on older systems hard drive imaging using products like Macrium Reflect, Acronis True Image or Norton Ghost is a swift, reliable and inexpensive process these days. Taking this preventative measure BEFORE any upgrade, or just a a precaution when a system is running smoothly can save lots of time and money in the event of corruption or hard drive failure. This is especially true on older systems. Hard drives are by far the most common failure on a PC!!
