• YASAMM will now attempt to contact the web site to check if any newer versions are available.

Step 2. If a program update is available

If an update is available then this window will appear. You may choose to download the update, ignore it and use your current version or exit the YASAMM.

• The title bar will display the current version.
• The body will display the message and the latest available software version number.

Step 2a. If a program update is being downloaded.

If an update is accepted and downloaded then this progress window will be shown. The YASAMM may be aborted at anytime by pressing the "Exit" at any time during the download.

• The YASAMM will save the update in a temporary folder.
• Start an upgrade launcher.
• Delete the old version.
• Copy the update to the original folder.
• Rename it to match the old name.
• Automatically launch the new version.

Note: If the YASAMM does not launch then you may have to download the update from the web site.

Step 3. Creating a new YASAMM Account

To create a new local YASAMM account...

• Enter your new YASAMM Account username and password. (Do not use your Steam Account name.)
• Click the Login Local button.
• If you are making a new local account then you will be prompted to create it on this computer.

• Click the Yes button.

Step 3b. Creating a new YASAMM Account - Part III

• Click the Add new toolbar button to add a new Steam Account.
• This window will now be hidden.
• Each toolbar button has a tooltip which will be displayed when the cursor "hovers" over it.

Step 4a. Adding Steam Accounts to your YASAMM - Part II

This the usual Add Steam Account dialog. The Edit & Delete Steam Account dialogs are almost identical.

• The Reference Name is the only mandatory field and it should describe your Steam account in a meaningful way.
• The Steam username and password are encrypted and stored locally.
• Only the correct username and password will decrypt them. They seem safe to me - considering they are on your PC ONLY.
• Games may be transferred between Actual Games and Available Games by either double clicking on them or using the >> and the << buttons.
• The Secure Data checkbox when ticked, will permanently hide your steam account information on this computer. You will be unable to view it or modify the fields. This will allow you to temporarily put your info on another PC and having it hidden from prying eyes and fingers.

Step 5. Logging into an existing YASAMM Account

This the usual start window for the YASAMM. At this point you may choose to login to the web site or access a local YASAMM account.

• Enter your YASAMM Account username and password (or the name of a new one).

• Click the Login button.
• If you are making a new local account then you will be prompted to create it on this computer.
• If you are registered and you click the "Login Web" button, YASAMM will download a copy of your registered account.
• If you are registered and have borrowed a Library account, make sure you use the username and password emailed to you. Then Click the "Login Web" button and YASAMM will attempt to launch the account that you borrowed.

Step 6. Selecting and Launching a Game or Steam Account

This window shows a single account has been setup and is ready to be used. The Account has been expanded to show the Steam games that are in it. At this point a number of functions are available by the usual Add Steam Account dialog. The Change & Delete Steam Account dialogs are almost identical.

• Double clicking on the Steam Account icon will Launch Steam using that account's login information.
• Double clicking on any game icon will launch that game using the account's login information.
• Steam Accounts may be altered using toolbar buttons or "Right Clicking" on an Account or Game etc.
