March 1st, starts the zipForm renewal process where the software will prompt each user to renew. As long as the member is active in NRDS with C.A.R., this should be a simple process. See below for step-by-step instructions. Throughout the month of March, the member may “skip” the renewal process and continue to use zipForm without going through the renewal. Starting April 1st, every member that hasn’t yet renewed will be forced to do so before it will open zipForm. Once a member renews the online version, it will also renew desktop (and vice versa).
