| 2. I
already have eVSM installed. How do I check what version
I have installed? |
| |
| In newer releases of eVSM, the version
number is shown at the top of the Stencils. |
The "About eVSM" dialog box also shows
the version number. Click
Start>Programs>eVSM Software>About eVSM

|
| 3. How
do I know what version I am entitled to? |
| |
Version entitlement is based on date of license registration
(not date of purchase). This table shows which version
you are entitled to based on your registration date.

If you are still unsure, send an E-mail to support@evsm.com
with your License# or your last activation code.
|
|
| 4. I
own a v1, v2, or v3 license. How can I buy the v4 upgrade
at the reduced upgrade price? |
| |
Registered users of earlier releases of eVSM can purchase
v4 at a discount price of $199.
|
|
| 5. Do
I need to un-install the previous release before I install
this upgrade? |
| |
Yes, you must un-install the old version of
eVSM using Add/Remove
Programs.
|
|
| 6. Will
I need a new activation code when I install this upgrade? |
| |
If upgrading from v1, v2, or v3, then new
activation details will be necessary. |
|
| 7. Can
I work with drawings created in earlier releases? |
| |
Drawings and associated spreadsheets created in v2
or later versions will migrate to v4. Drawings created
in v1 will also migrate but their associated spreadsheets
must be recreated. Drawings created in v4 will NOT work
with older versions of eVSM.
|
|
| 8. Can
I work on an eVSM v4 file in earlier versions of eVSM? |
| |
No. eVSM v4 files will not work in older versions of
eVSM. You cannot edit a v4 file in earlier releases
of eVSM, and there is no way of "downgrading"
a v4 file to, say v3.
A workaround is available to view or print a v4 file
in earlier releases. Here are the steps.
- In Visio, click "Tools > Options > Security"
- Set the "Enable Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications" to Off
- Exit Visio, and then open the eVSM v4 document
The above steps switch VBA Macros Off. You will NOT
be able to run eVSM in this state. Therefore, when you
are done viewing/printing the v4 documents, you need
to reverse the above steps.

|
| 9. I
own an eVSM v4 License but need to run eVSM v3. Is this
possible? |
| |
Contact support@evsm.com
|
|
| 10. What
are the System Requirements for eVSM v4? |
| |
eVSM v4 is supported on Windows 2000/XP/Vista. You
must have must have Visio 2003-2007 and Excel
2000-2007. Both the Standard and Professional
editions of Visio are supported.
