| Upgrade Instructions |
Step 1 - Backup
We
highly recommend that you back up your existing time tracking database
before upgrading. In the event that any problems are encountered during
the upgrade you can always install the previous version of Complete
Time Tracking and restore your database. We also recommend that you
perform periodical backups. |
Step 2 - Download
Download the new version from the Download
page, saving the installation program to your desktop or to a folder on
your computer. Ensure that you download the appropriate edition, Standard or Professional, of Complete Time Tracking. Your registration key will only work with the edition that you purchased.
Note: If you are upgrading Complete Time Tracking Professional edition then you should download both the Client and Server programs. |
Step 3 - Uninstall Previous Version (optional)
If
you would like to perform a clean install you an uninstall the previous
version by selecting Start, (Settings), Control Panel, Add or Remove
Programs. Select Complete Time Tracking Std/Pro, and click
Change/Remove. Follow the steps in the uninstall wizard.
Keep
Data: The uninstall process will ask if you want to either delete
or keep your existing time tracking database. We generally recommend
that you keep your existing database unless you have performed a backup
in step 1. If you select to keep your existing database it will be
automatically used (and upgraded if necessary) when the new version is
installed. If you select to delete your database you will need to
restore your database from the backup made in step 1 when the new
version is run. |
Step 4 - Install New Version
Double-click
the installation program for the new version that you previously
downloaded and follow the steps in the installation wizard. If you did
not uninstall the existing version in the previous step you will be
prompted to install the new version into the same folder as the
existing version which will allow you to update it. |
Step 5 - First Run
Once
installed you can run the new version. Upon first run the new version
will upgrade your database if necessary. You might briefly see an
upgrade progress window. On some larger databases this may take a
minute or two. |
We hope that you like the new version. Please send us feedback.
