Support Notes

Updating Your Current Installation

---

As with any software package there are always advantages to being at the latest release of the product. These advantages include newly added features, feature enhancements, documentation updates and bug fixes.

Checking what version of Multi-Edit you are currently using is as easy as clicking on Help | About to see what your current release is.

You can go about updating your Multi-Edit install using one of two methods. You may visit our product download page at http://www.multieditsoftware.com/downloads.php where all product patches, manuals and other items are posted, or by clicking on Help | Check for Upgrade. Using the Check for Upgrade option will automatically query our server and report back if a newer release of your version is available and allow for you to download the update immediately. You may also contact sales@multieditsoftware.com to request a replacement product download along with serial numbers or release codes if needed.

When 'updating' your installation of Multi-Edit an installation can be performed over the top of your current Multi-Edit install, which allows newer files to overwrite exiting files, or into a 'new' location. Either way your configuration and customizations will not be lost.

Remember when 'upgrading' your installation to a newer version of Multi-Edit you'll want to be sure to install to a 'new' location as a new release of Multi-Edit will need a clean installation path to avoid any file corruption. During the installation of an upgrade, you'll have an option to 'import' any previous installation configurations into your new install so that you can maintain all your settings from your previous version.
