Upgrade To V5.13 Convert-License E-Books To IMO-Witherby Wed Based Platform
Upgrade To V5.13 Convert-License E-Books To IMO-Witherby Wed Based Platform
1.In order to migrate your existing e-reader publications to the new IMO Bookshelf service, you will
need to upgrade your installed Windows IMO Bookshelf software to the latest version, version 5.13.
Select Internet option or download the latest version from the below link:
https://navstorage.navtor.com/software/ebook-reader-setup.exe
www.imobookshelf.org
Open the IMO or Witherby web base platform and login. www.witherbyconnect.com
Select Index and you will have access to your license book.
The new IMO Bookshelf is a browser-based hybrid software, meaning that it runs in web browsers, yet
behaves like desktop software, so there is no need to download or install anything.
However, there may be times where you do not have access to the Internet, such as when a vessel is out
at sea and when internet connections might be unreliable, so it is possible to download your purchased
IMO publications to use offline.
In order to use your IMO publications offline, you will need to download your purchased publications to
your browser cache. If you are unclear how to do this, please see page 7 of the IMO Bookshelf User
Manual, which describes how to do this.
Once you have downloaded your IMO publications to your cache, you will need to click on ‘Offline
Mode’ to continue.
Migrating to the new IMO Bookshelf or Transfer the existing IMO/Witherby Books V5.13
Migration can only take place once you have purchased a new e-reader on or after 1 May 2022, as
making a new purchase will automatically trigger the creation of your new IMO Bookshelf account.
Once you have your new IMO Bookshelf account, please confirm in order to arrange for your existing
products to be migrated to your new IMO Bookshelf account.
The diagram below shows how the process works.
Once you have migrated all your e-books to the new web-based IMO Bookshelf software you will be
required to run the uninstallation tool within the Windows-based IMO Bookshelf e-reader software.
NOTE: Please only continue with this process once you have Migrated all your licences; you have
successfully logged into your web-based IMO Bookshelf account.
You may check your library using the Navtracker Products ->Reports -> Portfolio Reports
Open your application and click on the support icon which can be found to the right of the search bar.
When the below pop up appears, click on the last tab "Convert Licence to new IMO Bookshelf".
Tick the box that you understand and wish to complete this process.
Tick the box that asks if you understand then Click on "Copy Text to Clipboard" and paste text into a
new email message. Email the text to sales@witherbys.com to complete the process.
The process is now complete, and this Windows-based programme can be uninstalled and removed
from your computer.
Important:
You may check your library using the Navtracker Products ->Reports -> Portfolio Reports
I suggest to double check whether you have access to all your license Books to the new platform before
you will proceed with the uninstall of IMO Bookshelf software.
