Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 in the Getting Started manual for complete information on how to install Eagle Point Software.
When running the Setup routine from the CD or Client Deployment Location, the newer version will update/repair the program files necessary to take the software to the CD version. If a newer version patch has been applied, the CD or Client Deployment will NOT overwrite the program files. To gain access to the options on the Maintenance dialog box, use the Add/Remove Programs command in your Windows Control Panel, select the "Eagle Point" item in the software list and click on the Add/Remove button. The Eagle Point Maintenance dialog box will then appear.
If you have already installed Eagle Point (99 - 2005) software , follow the steps below for installing the updated software contained on this CD. You do not need to un-install the previous installation prior to installing the update. Also, your authorization codes do not need to be re-entered. Any customizations you have made to your Support files (Field Code Libraries, Prototypes, etc.) will not be affected by the update, however it is recommended that you make a backup your Support folder. It is also recommended that ALL workstations within your office be updated to the same release to avoid any conflicts between newer and older versions.
Single License
Installation
If you have previously installed Eagle Point (99 - 2005) using
the single (local) license option and wish to update the software
from a newer CD, you should follow the steps outlined below.

Verify the paths are set correctly if you have pieces of the software located on the network.
Updating the Client
Deployment Setup on the Network (Network License Manager)
If you have previously installed Eagle Point to run with the
Eagle Point Network License Manager you will need to update the
client setup folder that resides on your network. Make sure you
have administrator rights to the location where the client
deployment resides. To ease the installation process and to
ensure proper setup of the license manager, perform this
installation from the same machine that was used previously. By doing so, you
are immediately asked if you want to use your existing client deployment
configuration. Once you select to use the existing client deployment
configuration, review the installation options and click on Next to begin
building the updated client deployment. If you do not use the same machine or
you choose not to use the existing client deployment configuration, compete the
following steps:
1. Insert the Eagle Point CD into your CD-ROM drive (assumed drive e:)
2. From the Windows Start menu, choose Run and type e:\setup.exe and click on the OK button.
