2.4 Updating SDMetrics from an Older Version
If you have previously installed an older version of SDMetrics, you
can simply overwrite the old installation directory with the new
version.
If you wish to use the old and new version of SDMetrics in parallel,
put the new version in a new installation directory of its own.
In either case, your application preferences will automatically be
taken over from the old version, with two exceptions:
- the default project file sets (see Section 4.16.1 "Project File Sets") will always be restored to factory
settings for the new version. If you have changed the
model/metric definition/XMI transformation files for the default
project file sets, you need to register them again with the new version of
SDMetrics.
- SDMetrics will look for the user manual in its default location (see Section 4.16.5 "Behavior").
