Help for plugins and updates


You cannot view a Copysafe page without having the latest plugin installed. Even if you have downloaded the plugin in the past, if the web site you are visiting has updated to a later version, you will be redirected to the download page for a an update.

If you keep returning to the download page after installing the latest plugin, it may need to adjust the security settings in your browser. Other odd anomalies can occur especially if testing the system simultaneously with multiple browsers (or other applications) in trying to foil the system's security.


One-Click Plugin Installation

If your personal security settings are preventing a one-click plugin installation, please check your web browser settings as per below.

Internet Explorer Security Settings

Installing the plugin for Internet Explorer should be a smooth exercise, but you need to ensure that the install has completed. First the program is downloaded, and if the option is chosen to "open" after download, the installer will begin its process immediately. However depending on other applications running on your computer and the speed of your computer, there may be a delay while the installer is unpacked and starts the installation.

  • Check that JavaScript is enabled
  • Check that Java is enabled
  • Check that you have the latest Java VM
  • Check that ActiveX should be enabled to allow for Signed ActiveX controls,
  • After a plugin upgrade IE sometimes needs to be restarted and sometimes you need to restart the computer (depends on Windows version and local file permissions).

Firefox Security Settings

Firefox behaves quite differently and uses a different plugin to Internet Explorer.

  • Check that JavaScript is enabled
  • Check that Java is enabled
  • Check that you have the latest Java VM.

Plugin removal

Instructions for removal of the Copysafe plugin from your computer.

Web developers

Users with different types of browsers on the same machine for testing their developments may encounter problems caused by caching of test errors. Also, different browsers may be using different Java plugin versions.

If you keep returning to the download page after installing the latest plugin, and you have checked your security settings, the problem may be due to your testing of the system with multiple web browser types or other applications simultaneously. In this case, shut down unused applications and/or restart the computer and try visiting again and behave normally.
