# Introduction to i>clicker Version 6.4

Congratulations on your adoption of i>clicker, the easiest-to-use classroom response system available. This guide will enable you to quickly start using i>clicker’s basic functions, as well as learn to use its more advanced features. Before you begin using i>clicker, please read the important How to Use This Guide section below for information on how to quickly get started.

i>clicker version v6.x introduced many improvements to i>clicker and i>grader, including support for numeric and alphanumeric responses using the i>clicker 2 remotes, self-paced polling, and polling with i>clicker GO. Now i>clicker v6.4 adds support for i>clicker GO site licenses and other enhancements. The upgrade to i>clicker v6.x is only required if your students have purchased i>clicker 2 remotes and you plan to ask numeric or alphanumeric questions or self-paced polling in your classroom. If you do not plan to ask numeric or alphanumeric questions or administer self-paced polling sessions, you may continue to use the i>clicker v5.x software.

The i>clicker v6.x upgrade impacts both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. The upgrade will not affect the data in your existing iclicker Win or iclicker Mac folders.

| IMPORTANT: Some features of i>clicker v6.2+, including self-paced polling, require a base running the latest firmware. If you are prompted by i>clicker to upgrade your firmware, you will need to download and run the base firmware updater program. This utility can be downloaded from iclicker.com.
| IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from i>clicker version 5.3 or earlier, you should refer to the section Converting from i>clicker 5.3 or Earlier of this guide.
