Question: Why will the EMU installation stop if an earlier version of EMU is already installed?
Reason: As new
features are added to EMU, there can be conflicts caused by the
new/modified APIs that are used. Given the combination and
permutations of workstation, client, service pack and other
configurations, the EMU installation programme is not always able to
properly delete all files. This can cause conflicts with "outdated"
files from previous installations.
Upgrade Procedure: To perform a trouble-free upgrade of EMU, we recommend you follow these steps:
-
Make backup copies of your CP, .LIC and data files from your current Program Files\Omni\EMU folder to a safe location.
-
Uninstall EMU.
-
Rename the old EMU installation directory to EMU.OLD.
-
Restart your workstation.
-
Install EMU.
-
Copy any .CP, .LIC and data files from EMU.OLD or
from the backup location that you want to retain from your previous
installation.
-
After confirming you have all of your files from the previous installation, delete EMU.OLD.
Note: The latest release of EMU will not permit the installation to continue if it detects an existing installation of EMU.
Licensing: EMU cannot be upgraded unless you have a licence that includes Software Upgrade Protection. All EMU licences include 30 days of upgrade protection from the date of purchase. Additional support must be purchased (30% of original purchase price per annum). If your attempt to upgrade EMU fails due to a lack of upgrade protection, please contact licensing at licensing@omni-ts.com or call 780.423.4200.
