If the installation you are making is an update, in other words a replacement of an earlier version with a new, the procedure begins with installing a “clean” version of the new program. After that, all user data are transferred from the old installation to new installation using a supplied feature called Import from other cadett ELSA.

 

Two main methods of making such an update exist, and they differ quite a lot from each other.

 

•One method is to make the new installation in the same main directory as the old installation (for example \ELSA).

 

•The other method is not doing so.

 

Those methods are described separately in the sub-topics that are listed below. Please note however, that in most cases the first method, namely to reuse the existing directory, is much better than the second one, since it is quicker and more reliable.

 

Please refer to the sub-topics that are listed below.

 

•A different main directory than the old installation

•The same main directory as the old installation

•Sole access limitation

•Important performance issue
