[Lo...] Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 We are running 7.0, customer is running 6.8. They require us to use the same, 6.8, version. Seeing's how they are not our only customer I have installed 6.8 on the same machine as 7.0, I have both versions on my Contura. When I open 6.8 programs, from my customer, with the 6.8 version will 7.0 screw them up and make the programs incompatible with a machine that is running 6.8 only? I wasn't sure if having the latest version will overwrite something in the program making them useless for our customer. I have a feeling that this is going to be a, big, pain in the A$$!!!!!

[Da...] Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 As long as you don't save the program under the new version it should be ok. I have a couple of programs that are from an older version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Probably a good idea to write protect the program to where it can not be saved. Open the inspection plan folder you wish to protect and right-click on the white inspec file, choose properties and then click the “read only” tab. After it has been protected to read only, you cannot save it and the only way modifications can be saved is if you choose the “save as” option and rename it.

[Ni...] Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 If you open a program that was saved on 6.8 using Calypso 7.0 and then save it under 7.0, it will upgrade that program to 7.0. Once you send it back the customer will not be able to use it on their 6.8 Calypso. It would be best to "save as" in a folder specifically for 7.0 programs that way you have both versions. Its possible the customer just sent you a copy of their program so even if you save it with 7.0, they will still be able to use their original version.

[Me...] Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Careful. My problem in the past was 2 versions were using same files. Things got messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Lo...] Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Please sign in to view this quote. I have made all programs for 6.8 read only so 7.0 will not overwrite. Thanks for that tip, Owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Me...] Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Please sign in to view this quote. Sorry I should have made myself clearer. I meant files and folders Calypso needs to run. Ex: Config, dll, Styli files and folders. Things kinda spider webbed their way through each version. I had Zeiss log in to see what was going on. Fixed it but was baffled. He had to create a new machine tab under system settings - cmm configuration. He thought it would be too cumbersome to delete and start from the beginning. It would have been a new load probably license issues too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
