Pearson's Crystal Data: Update Page
Once you have obtained one or more Pearson's Crystal Data (PCD) licenses, you should
visit this page from time to time. If any bugfixes or (minor) improvements are available,
you can download the concerning files from here.
Important:
Please note that the mentioned updates only refer to the software for a given database
release. Since there are several database releases, there are different
update files for the different database releases. You should check your software
version in PCD under "Help/Software info..." before
you install the update!
Updates of data are not available free-of-charge but can be requested
here.

but also a lot of authors (incl. department, university, city, country) have been
added that were missing in the previous versions. These address fields could not
