Title: Copying Evo to an independant workstation to Test.
Post by AndyOB on 10/20/21 at 12:32:00

Running 2017.1 + PSQL 12 Server, I think we need to update to latest (currently 2021.1), but was hoping to dump Evo onto a notebook, update it and run it for people to evaluate before running it on our live setup.

Any problem with installing trial PSQL 12 Server on a notebook copying Evo folder over and running from said laptop? Can't find the exact procedure, but honestly even if I could install install an empty version of Evo 2021.1 to a notebook that would be fine, we don't need to be able to use our data.

Let me know,
-A.

So there is PDF you can use to "move" Evo to a new server at https://www.istechsupport.com/resources.php. Just do the PSQL setup (with a demo lic) and move over the Evo folder to get it running.

You can have people sit at the system and 'demo' it. That is what I did a while back when we made the jump from Classic to Evo.

The trick is actually getting people to take the time to try it.

For a 30 day test you can use the PSQL demo. For a permanent demo station you can buy a $100 PSQL Workgroup license.

Thanks Lynn, et al.

Oh hey, another question.

Where are the pages that list the Fixes/Enhancements for the different revisions of Evo? I collected v2011.1 through 2018.3, but I forget for the life of me where they were hosted and there doesn't appear to be links to the update notes anywhere on the forward facing webpages.

I compiled them into an Excel PivotTable/PDF if anyone wants a copy, makes it easy to read through what's been changed/fixed version to version.

Lastly!

I'm getting the "Error detected in DEMO." message on my 2021.1 updated demo copy of Evo. Is there a fix for that, like does the serial key have to be re-entered or something? Not planning on using this other than to just let people see if the update breaks any of their workflow.

Thanks much,

Did you copy over the entire DBAFG folder and update it? That should have copied all the Evo/DBA licenses.

I did, if I run dba it works, but Evo does not.

Recopy the SUWIN7.DCY and SUWIN6.DCY from DBAMFG to the test application folder and the C:\ISTS folder on the test station and the BKARSIVL.B from the production DEFAULT subfolder to the test DEFAULT subfolder.
