I have a lot of e-mails so rather than respond to them one at a time let me answer general questions here.
1. Yes, you will need a new license file for v. 3.
2. The upgrade fee includes any add-ons (e.g., auto-cal) and all versions you may have.
3. I haven't issued any new license files yet because I have been sleeping.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control I am currently traveling, so my delivery of new licenses will be slow until I return to home base Friday. I'll issue some licenses in the morning and then again at night before turning in. By Friday evening I should be able to issue licenses quite fast. One of the consequences of being on the road is that I do not have my database of existing licenses with me. Therefore, to expedite the upgrade, would those who have already ordered or who plan to order in the next couple of days please attach their existing license to an e-mail and send to
support@chromapure.com along with the upgrade request.
I want to explain one aspect of v. 3 functionality that was not in the release notes. We have added an auto-connect feature to revision A i1D3 meters and AccuPel generators and Lumagen processors. What this means is that if you have any of these connected when you start-up the application it will connect automatically. The i1D3 defaults to the CRT mode. If you want it to start-up in a different mode, then click Disconnect, select the desired mode and then initialize as normal. It should remember that choice and use the new mode and the default connect option. BTW, you can turn this off in the i1D3 options panel if you prefer.
Edit: You have continue to have both v. 2 and v. 3 on the same PC and both will function fine. However, you cannot run both simultaneously.
Edit 2: I just tested auto-connect and it turns out that it does not work the first time you run the application, but will in all subsequent sessions (it has to write values to the configuration file to function). So the first time you run v. 3, connect the meter as you normally would. Also, I found the first bug. The selected mode does not appear in the mode drop down at run time, even though it is active.
