From version > To version - default action/installation type 8.7.12.1 > 9.1.5.11 defaults to a side-by-side installation (default install folder is "PlanSwift9"). 9.1.5.11 > 10.1.1.8 (or any version of PlanSwift 10) defaults to an upgrade-in-place (default install folder is "PlanSwift9"). You can change the installation folder to PlanSwift10 to perform a side-by-side installation (recommended). The upgrade-in-place means your PlanSwift 9 data visible in PlanSwift 10 upon first launch by default. If you changed the install folder to "PlanSwift10" to perform a side-by-side install (recommended), you can import your PlanSwift 9 data into PlanSwift 10. 10.1.1.8 > 10.2.5.40 is an upgrade-in-place (the folder you installed 10.1.1.8 to is where 10.2.5.40 will be installed); user is not prompted to choose/set installation folder at all, your data will be available when you launch 10.2.5.40. 10.2.5.40 > 10.2.5.41 is an upgrade-in-place (the folder you installed 10.2.5.40 to is where 10.2.5.41 will be installed); user is not prompted to choose/set installation folder at all, your data will be available when you launch 10.2.5.41. 10.2.5.40 > 10.3.0.50 is an upgrade-in-place (the folder you installed 10.2.5.41 to is where 10.3.0.50 will be installed); user is not prompted to choose/set installation folder at all, your data will be available when you launch 10.3.0.50. 10.3.0.50 > 10.3.0.56 is an upgrade-in-place (the folder you installed 10.3.0.50 to is where 10.3.0.56 will be installed); user is not prompted to choose/set installation folder at all, your data will be available when you launch 10.3.0.56. 10.3.0.56 > 11.0.0.89 defaults to upgrade-in-place (default install folder is wherever the highest version of PlanSwift is located - if you have PlanSwift 9 AND PlanSwift 10 installed, PS 11.0.0.89 installs to the PlanSwift10 folder). You can change the installation folder to PlanSwift11 to perform a side-by-side installation (recommended). The upgrade-in-place means your PlanSwift 10 data is visible in PlanSwift 11 upon first launch by default. If you changed the install folder to "PlanSwift11" to perform a side-by-side install (recommended), you can import your PlanSwift 10 data into PlanSwift 11.(this version was pulled from distribution so we could address some issues with the installation/upgrade process) |
If you are installing a new major version (such as 10 on a machine that has 9 installed), the upgrade will be installed "along side" the existing version (you'll have PS9 and PS10, for example). You'll then import the jobs/templates/etc. from PS9 into PS10.
