ProMax Dealer Websites will have full functionality restored early tomorrow morning with no change in service.

Updated Dealer Login Box Coming May 2nd

The Dealer Login box is being updated next Thursday morning, May 2nd. When it updates, depending on the version of Windows you use, you'll likely see one of these two popups:

Regardless of which you see, click "Install". You will then see a prompt asking "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" Please click "Yes" to complete the update.
