How do I get the Currency Converter module?
The first thing to do is copying the following URL.
Afterwards you should open the back-end of your Joomla! and visit the installation page, which may vary depending on your current version:
- Extensions > Manage > Install on Joomla! 3;
- System > Install > Extensions on Joomla! 4.
From this page you should access the Install from URL section and paste the previously copied URL into the apposite field. Hit the Check and Install button to download and install the module.
Got Errors During the Update?
If the update process gave you some errors, then it may be possible that your current installation or account are not allowed to install the new version of VikAppointments for free. This may be due to 2 different factors:
- the domain from which you are requesting the update is not registered;
- your support license expired.
In case you are sure that your website is properly registered on our system, then you may have to purchase another copy of VikAppointments in order to extend your support license by another year. Click HERE if you wish to go ahead with the purchase.

Enjoy your new VikAppointments!
