Upgrade on the same computer
An upgrade of Odette 95 (version 2.x), Odette 95 MC (version 3.x), EDI-Standalone or Odette MC (Version 4.x) requires the complete setup of !MC5 (MC5_e.exe). The setup will install !MC5. The last page of the installer will offer to import data from previous Bartsch Software products.
The import tool will copy all available data without changing the old installation. The tool can be found in the program folder of !MC5 as UpdateMC.exe. It can be used at any time.
Upgrade on a new computer
If you plan to install the upgrade on a new computer you need to have access to the old installation folders to import the data. If in doubt, copy the existing installation from the old system first.
For Odette 95 / 2K / 95 MC the default paths are "C:\Program Files\Odette95" (Version 2.x) or "C:\Program Files\OdetteMC" (Version 3.x).
An upgrade from Odette MC (version 4.x) requires access to the programs data folders. These are located under C:\ProgramData\Bartsch Software\Odette MC (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\AppData\Bartsch Software\Odette MC for Windows version prior to Windows Vista).
After that you can install !MC5 as described above and import the data from the old Odette.
Special attention with the EDI module
If the EDI module is used with the existing installation, upgrade and data import should be done on the old computer. All versions prior to 4.0 store counter variables in the Windows registry. Since version 4.0 these are store in a file. The update will recognize the variables in the registry and will copy them into the file.
Meanwhile !MC5 can be installed on the new computer. After that the data folder of !MC5 can be copied from the old computer. It is located in "C:\ProgramData\Bartsch Software" or "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\AppData\Bartsch Software". All existing files must be overwritten.
Is an update on the old machine impossible all counters must be set manually in the Automation settings.
