Hello all,
I have made my perpetual license upgrade purchase from Advanced v4 to v5, have received confirmation of my order via email with activation code, purchased and set up an ilok account, downloaded v5, downloaded the v5 version of Armley Shulze (18 files!) so far, etc., etc. I'm pretty much ready to pull the trigger and do the upgrade, but I'm also still in the info gathering stage, and before I go to install v5 I'd just like to make sure I do everything correctly and not end up with problems.
I'm seeing reports here that like the first release of v4, there are a few bugs in v5 causing issues and these are being addressed as we speak. I experienced the bugs with the first release of v4 and in fact was one of the first here to report it to Martin. The problem was somewhat annoying and would at times without notice cause my computer to completely freeze and render it unresponsive, forcing me to do hard shutdowns as the only remedy. My computer wasn't too hip to that kind of treatment and I'd rather not do that in the first place. So, I'd like to avoid that kind of issue again and am opting for now even though I'm ready, to not to jump to v5 until this is fixed as I have (and have had for a long time) a perfectly running v4 version and computer system as is, and would instead prefer to continue enjoying it that way until the v5 fix is in place, then do the upgrade. I'm in no hurry.
A few questions hopefully someone can answer:
Since I have all the parts and pieces in place to upgrade, have already purchased the upgrade and so on, I'd assume I could wait until June to actually apply the upgrade if I wanted, and at that time all would work, install and upgrade, etc., etc., as if I were to do it now? So, no problems with doing that, right? Nothing is going to expire requiring me to do anything over again later if I wait, right?
The only other question then is: Do we have a time frame for when the bug fixes will be completed and what's the ETA for the fixed version of v5? And, at that time will it require a complete re-install of v5 or will it simply be a patch?
One of the reasons I ask this now is, far as I know, since I downloaded v5 a few weeks ago I'm assuming I currently hold a v5 with bugs, so it may be useless to even have it sitting on my thumb drive if I were to wait until June to apply the upgrade and would need to download the fixed release of v5 again anyways. Or would this even be the case?
Anyone that can advise here, it would be greatly appreciated.
