1.3.3 Upgrading ArArCALC
These are instructions for upgrading ArArCALC on your computer:
- Close ArArCALC if you still have the software running in Microsoft Excel.
- Backup the ArArCALC.log file from the ArArCALC\Program directory.
- Now follow the instructions for Step (1) of a normal installation (see also: How to Install ArArCALC on your PC).
- Copy the backed-up ArArCALC.log file back into the ArArCALC\Program directory, unless you want to start with a clean master log file.
Note If you are re-opening age/air calculations files that were generated with an older version of ArArCALC, these files will be automatically upgraded to the latest version. This automatic updating functionality will work with age/air calculation files as generated in Version 2.0 and later. However, the age calculation files are not backward-compatible, instead the ArArCALC software will warn you when you are trying to open an age calculation file that was generated with a newer version. The same updating scheme is used to update the ArArCALC.log files.
