| 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? |

(not date of purchase). This table shows which version
you are entitled to based on your registration date.

|
| 4. I
own an older version. How can I buy the v5 upgrade
at the reduced upgrade price? |
| |
Registered users of earlier releases of eVSM can purchase
v5 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 v4.x or an earlier
version, 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 v5. Drawings created
in v1 will also migrate but their associated spreadsheets
must be recreated. Drawings created in v5 will NOT work
with older versions of eVSM.
|
|
| 8. Can
I work on an eVSM v5 file in earlier versions of eVSM? |
| |
No. eVSM v5 files will not work in older versions of
eVSM. You cannot edit a v5 file in earlier releases
of eVSM, and there is no way of "downgrading"
a v5 file to, say v4. A workaround is available to view or print a v5 file
in earlier releases.
Here are the steps for Visio 2003
- In Visio, click "Tools > Options > Security"
- Set the "Enable Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications" to Off
- Exit Visio, and then open the eVSM v5 document
Steps for Visio 2007
-
In Visio, click “Tools > Trust Center > Macro
Settings”.
-
Select the “Disable all macros without
notification” option, and click OK.
-
Exit Visio, and then try opening the eVSM v5
document.
Steps for Visio 2010
-
In Visio, open the Developer ribbon, and click the
Macro Security command.
-
Select the “Disable all macros without notification” option, and click OK.
-
Exit Visio, and then try opening the eVSM v5
document.
Note: The above steps switch
the eVSM VBA Macros Off. You will NOT
be able to run eVSM in this state. Therefore, when you
are done viewing/printing the v5 documents, you must reverse the above steps.
