Important Notes:

Switching to the new dsSearchAgent 3.0 WILL NOT cause any loss of data, settings or customizations (such as Custom Links). Additionally, it does not cost anything to upgrade to 3.0 (you just need to be an existing dsSearchAgent Pro user. Lastly, not all MLS have been approved but we’re working hard on getting the thumbs up for each and every MLS (it shouldn’t be long, we’re just waiting on their approval of version 3.0). If an version 3.0 has not been approved with an MLS, you’ll see a message that reads “Your account is not currently eligible”…don’t worry, sit tight and you’ll see the magic button soon enough :-)

How To Activate the New 3.0:

Activating version 3.0 is a simple as the click of a button. Log into your Control Panel and click the big yellow button that says “Take me to the future!” and viola! you’re all set to go!
