• If you subscribe to Epocrates Essentials Deluxe, you will need to either get a pro-rated refund and "downgrade" to Essentials, or you can have your license transferred from Palm/Mac to Palm/Win. Please contact Epocrates support for details.
• If your device has wireless Internet capabilities, you could install and update Epocrates wirelessly. To do this, open the web browser on the handheld and direct it to the following web address.
  
       http://get.epocrates.com
  
  Please note that the prefix "www." is NOT part of the above web address. Then, select the "Install Now" button and continue with the wireless install process.
  
  If you do not have a data plan, your carrier will charge you for the download and update time.
• Another option is to "downgrade" Epocrates from Rx version 8 to version 7.5. Please CLICK HERE to see the process necessary to do this.
• If downgrading from Rx version 8 to version 7.5 is unacceptable and a wireless install is not an option, it will be necessary to transfer your license from Palm/Mac to Palm/Win. Please contact Epocrates support for details.
