APAS SOFTWARE UPGRADE INFORMATION
Recommended steps for upgrading the APAS software are listed below
and will not affect your license. NOTE: Failure to follow
the proper steps may invalidate the APAS software license and result
in additional costs for a new license.
Upgrades are constantly being made to the APAS software. These
upgrades are posted to the internet on a regular basis. Upgrades can
be performed at any time, however, if the currently posted software
revision is less than one full revision from your currently installed
version, then it is probably not worth the time to upgrade. If the
posted software is greater than one revision from your current
version, the upgrade might be worth the time. For example, if your
current APAS software is Revision 1.0 and APAS Revision 1.5 is posted
on the internet, the upgrade only has minimal changes. If your current
APAS software is Revision 1.0 and APAS Revision 2.1 is posted on the
internet, then the upgrade will include one or more significant
changes.
Thank you for purchasing the Ariel Performance Analysis System
(APAS). As an added value to our customers, Ariel Dynamics, Inc.
provides FREE software upgrades as long as the purchased hardware
supports the upgrade software. For example, a customer that purchased
the analog video frame grabbing APAS could not upgrade to the Digital
Video frame grabbing APAS without purchasing the new components.
