- Updating to HourWorld™ 2.31 from HourWorld™ 2.10+
-
- HourWorld™ is a frequently-updated project with new features and sizes being added every
- few months. In an attempt to assist those of you who have been faithfully upgrading each
- time a new version becomes available, we have added a new upgrading feature.
-
- HourWorld 2.10 and later all store a file named HourWorld™ Prefs in the preferences
- folder inside your system folder. This file contains the database of locations, your settings,
- and your registration key.
-
- Version 2.31, when first run, will read your old database and settings, and merge into that
- additional cities from the new database, and keep your previous settings. Testing shows this
- process to be reasonably reliable, but if your old database is corrupt for any reason, or the
- operating system has built up a number of errors and is about to crash, the process may fail.
-
- As extra insurance, before installing, please locate your previous registration key. You might
- check your email records, or go to the registration screen on your previous version and write
- down your registration key.
-
- If you are a previous user, and are unable to get HourWorld 2.31 running properly, some-
- thing may have gone wrong in the automatic upgrading process. You may clear the problem
- by deleting the file "HourWorld™ Prefs" from the preferences folder inside your system
- folder. Once this file is deleted, HourWorld™ will go through an initial installation. To
- enable full features if this happens, you will need to re-enter your registration key.
-
- If you are a registered user, and are unable to locate your registration key, you may get
- it by email request to:
-
- llpaul@hourworld.com
-
- Once you have registered HourWorld™ 2.31, you may wish to protect your registration info
- against a hard drive failure or other accident by making a copy of the "HourWorld™ Prefs"
- file and saving it to a backup location. Alternatively, keep a copy of our email, invoice or
- receipt with your registration key information.
-
- If your "HourWorld™ Prefs" file is lost or damaged, HourWorld™ 2.31 will revert to running
- as the feature-limited HourWorld™ Lite. While we are happy to email replacement keys free
- of charge in case of hard drive failures or other accidents, we recommend making a backup of
- the preferences file or our message to you with the registration key.
