*SongShow Builder*
Alongside the SongShow Plus 9.3 Preview build, there is also an update to the SongShow Builder.  This is a new web-based tool in development that will allow broader access by staff and better utilize the SongShow Connect subscription.  For more information on this exciting development view this forum thread.

9.3 Installation and Activation: 
As in the past, the Preview version 9.3 will not overwrite any existing installation but rather install as a separate application.  This will allow you to test/review 9.3 on the same machine you currently use and easily compare versions. As far as activating 9.3, simply ensure that you have the current version of 9.2 installed and activated on the same machine you install 9.3 and that your subscription is also current.
As long as these conditions are met, no activation process for the 9.3 preview release is needed and you can go immediately to exploring 9.3 as soon as it is installed.

It is possible that when the preview build is installed that the connection to the media and slide properties is lost.  If this occurs, please consult this article.
