Upgrading from H&M 5.6 to H&M 7

Unread post by Swede »

Hi
We've been using H&M 5.6 Professional for a few years and we're now planning on upgrading directly to the newly released version 7. Are there any problems opening 5.6 projects in H&M 7, or are there any caveats to be aware of?
Thanks!

Version 5.6 projects can be opened and edited directly in Help & Manual 7. That is not a problem at all. However, after editing in version 7 you probably shouldn't try to re-save in version 5. If you do, you will lose any HM7 features that are unknown in version 5. Also, you should never do multi-user editing with mixed versions of Help & Manual. All users should be both on the same version and the same build number of that version. Otherwise you can have serious problems.
