Migrating to the latest version of TotalFlow Optimizer

If you already have TotalFlow Optimizer installed, you can upgrade to a higher version without uninstalling your existing software.

Before migrating from a previous version of TotalFlow Optimizer, it is strongly recommended that you back up the current TotalFlow Optimizer installation. For detailed instructions on backing up your TotalFlow Optimizer objects and system settings, see the TotalFlow Optimizer User’s Guide.

To upgrade to the latest version of TotalFlow Optimizer:

  1. Log in to Windows as an administrator.
  2. Insert the TotalFlow Optimizer installation media in the drive or open the downloaded installation package.

    If you use the installation media and the autorun feature of Windows is enabled, the installer starts automatically. If the installer does not start automatically, go to the Setup folder on the installation disk and run setup_x64.exe.

    If you have an installation package, double-click the .exe file from the package to start the installation.

  3. If the User Account Control dialog appears, click OK.
  4. On the setup screen, select a language for the installer and click OK.

    You see the update confirmation screen. Click Continue.

  5. The Introduction dialog is displayed. Click Next.

    If your previous TotalFlow Optimizer version was in trial mode, the installation continues and you must choose if you want to try or register the latest version of TotalFlow Optimizer. For more information, see Installing TotalFlow Optimizer.

  6. If you try to install a new version on the current version where the previous TotalFlow Optimizer version is introduced, the installer displays a warning informing you to back up your current TotalFlow Optimizer installation. If you already created a back-up, select Yes, and click Next.
    Note: If you do not want to back up your current TotalFlow Optimizer installed version, you can still continue with the installation process. Select No, but continue anyway and click Next.

    The installation process continues with the next steps. For more information, see Installing TotalFlow Optimizer.

    Before starting the new installed TotalFlow Optimizer version, make sure you clear the web browser cache.

Important: If you upgraded TotalFlow Optimizer to a higher version and you want to restore the system to a previous version on the upgraded system:
  1. Uninstall the upgraded version of TotalFlow Optimizer.
  2. Install the previous version where you created the backup.
  3. Use the Restore option to revert to the saved system configuration.
  4. Reinstall the upgraded version without uninstalling the previous version.

For more information on Backup/Restore, see the "Backing up and Restoring Data" chapter in the TotalFlow Optimizer User’s Guide.
