Procedure for upgrading from version 14 to 15
« on: September 28, 2019, 12:41:40 am »
I want to upgrade from Sparx EA 14 to 15. I have already downloaded the installers I need but I am not a local admin and will have to tell my IT Support exactly what the steps are. I have spent quite some time now, searching the Sparx site in vain for an instruction, so now I turn to the forum.

I need to know things like - Must I uninstall 14 before I install 15? Will uninstalling 14 also uninstall the add-ons (the MDG packages), or will I need to uninstall each separately? Will the 15 installer also uninstall 14 (and all its MDG packages)?; Can I keep 14 and install 15 in parallel?

Thanks,
HÃ¥kan

Just install version 15. It does the uninstall of previous versions. It is just a common installer (next, next, agree, next, next, finish). It keeps you local configuration, so it is not required any additional config.

If you want to keep the previous version all you need to do is rename the program files folder to something other then EA.
