TECH NOTE
Updating with newer versions of the applications,
utilities and/or libraries.
The following applies to all systems shipped after September 27th
2002.
Depending upon what you have downloaded from this Web site
you must take precautions not to accidently destroy or replace
your own libraries. Please observe the follow points:
- If you download the complete archive for the first time ,
then you do not need to concern your self with accidentally overwriting
and destroying existing file since you have none.
- If you have existing documentation, libraries or applications,
we recommend that you first place the new downloaded data in
a separate directory. Then copy what you need from that directory
to the target directory. Remember, that if you have added your
footprints to our libraries, when you copy our libraries back
to your working directories, the modified libraries will be replaced
with what we distribute, thus cause the loss of your creations.
It is a better idea to always put your creations in your own
library files in a different library directory.
- In the MacOS when you do a finder copy of a folder to a window
containing a similarly named folder, the existing folder and
its contents are first deleted and then replaced with the contents
of the new folder. Therefore make sure that there is nothing
of value in such a folder when you are updating in this manner.
Version Updates
Updates which incorporate bug fixes are available from this
website. They can be downloaded and will work directly on your
machine. However, it is possible that the specific fix you are
seeking may not exist in the series for which you are currenly
licensed. Under these circumstances you will need to first upgrade
your license status before you will be able to use the newer version.
Version Upgrades
Upgrades will usually require that your license status be upgraded.
In most cases if you have a support contract with VAMP inc. the
upgrade fees are usually part of the support. If you are not on
support, then you will have to pay any applicable upgrade fees
prior to getting your license status upgraded at the GLSS server.
To save time, be sure that your status matches the version
you plan to run.
