Good day all....
 
I'm looking for some guidance so I don't have any installation furballs or PMO's.
 
I've been using the X2 trial demo this last week for familiarity until my X2PE (box version, thank you very much) shows up this week.
 
Should I open the trial version and just add the registration #'s to install/activate all?  (which I'm wary of for some ignorant reason)
Or, just put in the new X2 disc and install from the beginninig ignoring the trial version all together and leave it installed?
Should one UNINSTALL the trial and then insert the X2PE dvd and install?
 
Thanks in advance for the help.
 
Carry on....
 
 

    No. Wait for the full version to arrive. Uninstall the trial and install the full version. Also get the A patch. Until then have fun.  

Hey John....

Curious....the salesperson I talked to said to go ahead an install over the trial.
Not taking issue with his suggestion/knowledge and maybe that approach would work as he states.
For some reason I just wasn't totally comfortable with it.
IMO....if there is a remote chance of anything ugly occuring during the install I want to avoid it.

Ha...hence...I came to this think tank for some hands on feedback.

Thanks for chiming in with the guidance. 

Carry on....

The installations are seperate so there is no installing "OVER".
The only registration codes for the demo version are to allow you the 30 days of use.

You cannot make the demo the full version of Sonar.

Uninstall the demo before installing the full version when you receive the disks.

You will then need to update to Sonar X2a.

hth.

The trial is not going to work after the alloted time. There is no good reason to have it on your system. Sure the full version will install in its own directory and the two will not interfere with one another. Yet I see no reason to hang on to software that is non functional. 

I think it will be less a problem if you uninstall it before you install the full version rather than latter after you install the full version.

Hey kevo.... Ha...the 'over' word the salesperson used concerned me so here I am getting the user facts. I'll be doing what you and John suggest. Your comments also clear up the demo registration thing which I would not have understood clearly. Belly up to the bar all...I'm buying....it's after 05:00 pm somewhere. :) EDIT: Thx John..makes sense to me.

There's apparently more to uninstalling Sonar than just uninstalling it.

There are detailed instructions floating around though I can't find them.

Paul P.... Hmmm...you're scaring me. :) I'll watch for any tips regarding your 'uninstalling' comment. Thank you...

That is overkill. You don't need to go into removing registry entries and stuff. This is a simple thing that shouldn't cause you any trouble.

Those instructions are when one is having problems and needs to start from a pristine point. I wouldn't worry about it in this situation.  

Hey John... I remember doing the reg deletions up to my Sonar5.0PE purchase. I'm glad that's not an issue any more. Thanks....
