IMPORTANT UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

If you are upgrading from any version of Launch ‘Em—even the latest demo—you must perform two actions before beginning the upgrade:

1. From Launch ‘Em’s File menu, select the “General Preferences” dialog, UNcheck the “Always Use Launch ‘Em” box.

2. If you have installed Launch ‘Em App Hack, go to HackMaster (or your own hack manager). UNcheck the box next to “Launch ‘Em App Hack”.

You can now proceed with the upgrade. If you do not turn off both of these options, some upgrade files might not be installed properly. Once you have completed the upgrade, you can reenable either or both of these options.

If you are upgrading from Launch ‘Em version 2.1 or earlier, you may also have to delete your existing version of Launch 'Em before installing this version. In this case, uncheck the two options indicated above before deleting your existing Launch ‘Em. After the upgrade, you will have to set your preferences again and refile your programs and databases into the desired tabs.

If you are DOWNgrading from Launch ‘Em version 3.1 (or later) to version 3.02 (or earlier), you must delete your existing version of Launch 'Em before installing this version. Again, uncheck the two options indicated above before deleting your existing Launch ‘Em. After the downgrade, you will have to set your preferences again and refile your programs and databases into the desired tabs.

Flash ROM Notice: If you intend to move the Launch 'Em application into flash ROM, make sure that you run Launch ‘Em once in RAM before moving it to flash ROM. This validates the registration. The first run needs to write information to the Launch 'Em database and cannot be done in flash ROM because flash Rom is read-only and will cause a crash. After running it once in RAM it is safe to move the Launch 'Em application into flash ROM.
