UPDATE
RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the
release of the updated ATF Form 4473 (5300.9) Revised May 2020 and it’s
required use by November 1st 2020 by all Federal Firearm Licensees,
Lewis Tactical LLC will be releasing an update to the FFL Tools Professional
Suite of Applications.
The change
in work flow to accommodate, and align with this new form has required a
re-write of major portions for all the FFL Tools applications. You must update all applications concurrently
to ensure the proper functioning of your software.
This update
includes modifications to the database; which is a portion of the FFL Tools
Professional application, be it Perpetual or Subscription, and it must be the
first application updated. You must then update the Client and Seller
applications where applicable to work with the new database structure.
During the
update process, all existing 4473 data in your database will be transferred
into the new database structure.
The sequence
of actions, and updates to your software should be as follows:
·
Perform
a backup of your FFL Tools Database
·
Run
the update for the FFL Tools Professional installation on the computer where
your database resides
·
Run
the update on all other FFL Tools Professional installations
·
Download
and install the latest FFL Tools Client application on your client computers
·
Download
and install the latest FFL Tools Seller application if applicable on your
seller computers
It is highly
recommended that you run through the new 4473 process with the software after
updating. Performing this test will
accomplish two things:
- Ensure proper functioning of FFL Tools after the update
- Help familiarize yourself with
the new ATF mandated workflow of the 4473 process
As always,
should you have any difficulties during the update process, please call the FFL
