Upgrade Policy

• Free upgrade for V1.x users. Your V1.x's license user/key still works with V2.

How to Upgrade

• Do not uninstall V1.x. V2 can coexist with V1.x on the same computer. V2's data is independent with V1.x.
• During the V2's installation process, make sure the installation folder is different with your current V1.x's installation folder. By default, it uses a different folder of V1.x.
• After you finish V2's installation, make sure My Vacation Tracker V2 is not running. Then go to the Start -> Programs -> My Vacation Tracker V2 ->Database Migration Tool (from V1.x to V2.x). The "Database Migration Tool" will be launched. Follow the on-screen instructions to import your V1's data into V2.
• Start V2 from Start -> Programs -> My Vacation Tracker V2 ->My Vacation Tracker. You will see all of your V1's data in V2.
• Phase out V1.
