Upgrade for the main version

General Information

If previous versions of the program are installed on the computer, the installation program will ask if you want to upgrade or install a new one.

  • Select installation if you wish to install a new program.
  • Select upgrade if you wish to upgrade the program.
  • If the installation program does not find the old installation, the program will not suggest an upgrade. In this case, upgrade the program according to the instructions Upgrade Across Multiple Versions.
