1.	Make a backup of all of your existing Notebooks and store it in a safe place!  It’s always a good idea to back up your documents before installing a new version of software.  While we don’t anticipate any problems, it’s better to be safe.

	2.	If you’re upgrading from an older version of NoteBook, obtain a new license key.  NoteBook 3.0 does not accept older NoteBook license keys.  If you don’t have a new license key, please visit the Circus Ponies Online Store to purchase an upgrade.

	3.	Archive the older version of NoteBook, if you want to keep it around.

	4.	Review the Installation Guide page named, “Before you Migrate to Leopard.”  This page discusses a bug in OS X 10.5 (Leopard) that ca cause problems in opening older Notebooks, and how to circumvent it.

	5.	After installing, choose Help → What’s New in NoteBook to learn about changes and new features.
