Does this version have the ioc software and such already loaded, Or do you still have to go online and upgrade and down load the programs for the ioc

You must upgrade online. Not a big deal but requires Microsoft operating system.

Yes, after installing it you have to get the upgrade from Nuance available only on-line for free. It doesn't work until you do.

It was very easy to upgrade to 8.1, just went to Microsoft, searched for "8.1" and scrolled down to the "RT" VERSION. The process is takes about an 90 min, it is very hands off. The system will initially behave as a fresh install, but once your original account and password is entered it will behave as you had set up.

If you order it from a brand distributor, then yes. If you order it through a marketplace seller, then you'll want to check with the seller that the software included, and that it still has installations available.

if you purchase this on disc how do you make sure it is updated to the latest version to play online/multiplayer?

I did not use the disc that came with the box. I downloaded the trial version (2015) from the web site. Then, I use the product key from the box to activate.

No it doesn't. The last update is included on the disc (at least supposedly from what I read). The latest and last update was version 1.9; without this installed the game will most likely be unplayable.

Actually it came with version 4.3 and once activated it automatically downloads a system upgrade which is 4.4.2 and it is your choice whether to install it or not.

just download it. or go to a Microsoft store and they will install free for you.

Most assuredly. As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if it didn't auto-update shortly after provisioning. Here in the US, 4.4.4 is the current version.

I just experienced the same exact problem with mine. I was routinely checking for updates by using the webupdater and now I get the same message "SYSTEM SOFTWARE MISSING", does anyone have a zip file with version 4.70? Webupdater claims my version of 4.80 is corrupt... Funny I downloaded it from them...

No, The one I purchased had new software loaded, and stopped at the ready to run for the first time. I had to enter the product key on the unit to activate it.

I bought V4 earlier this year and it automatically upgraded to V5 when it looked for updates online. I haven't noticed any major differences since upgrading.

I think this version is newer on but you should also ask others. Sorry wish I knew for sure.

The download is the complete program.. you don't have to have a previous version installed to upgrade. You need the license for your old version however to be eligible to receive the 'crossgrade' license.

Yes. This license cannot be installed as an upgrade, it must be a fresh install.
