Is it possible to install both 7.3 and 8 (Analyst & Contributor) on the same server and be able to switch between the two when needed? If so, how do you go about this?
We have some models created in 7.3 and some created in 8 but would like to have all our models we have worked on in the part on a server which we can then refer to.
Any info will be helpful
Yes, 7.3 and 8 is the same product and depending on your 7.3 version it has the same database. Think of 8 as SP5.
What I hoped to do was install Both 7.3 MR1 AND 8 in parallel on the same server? But maybe this is not necessary?
It wouldn't matter because by the time you install 8 files you will write over the cer4 directory. Like I said, it's the same version.
With 8, you will have CDS, but Analyst and Contributor are the same.
OK thank you.
One last question. If Iââ,¬â,,¢ve created models in 7.3 these can be accessed and re-modelled if I have 8 installed? And moving between a clients 7.3 installation and our 8 installation will not cause any problems?
How many more times are you going to ask the same question?
It's the same product, use some common sense.
Sorry, im new to EP and have been asked to look into it. Thanks for the help
CenterStone ,contributor web client 7.3 and 8.1 is not compatible. Be care with it =)
If you dont have much administrators link and macros I think you need import all applications to 8.1.
Ah thank you!
Well we have many models and they have many macros and Admin links.
Thank for the help
If your users have Admin rights, the Active X files should upgrade itself. From my conversations with Support, there is no cab file change from 7.3 SP4 to 8.1. There were major improvements in admin links when MR1 came out. I guess next time we run through a thread like this, lets specify the version and release number.
