TATEMS: Fleet Maintenance Software - Update 11-10-2005 to 3.1.01eXP

Just a quick note to announce the release to TATEMS 2005 3.1.01eXP

If you are already running a licensed copy of TATEMS 2005 then this release will require you to acquire a new registration number.

This is to prevent any unauthorized access to the new releases after the 1 year of no cost version updates has expired.

To minimize any inconvenience to you, this release will give you 10 days to acquire the new registration number.

If you are in your trial period then the trial period will continue with the same number of days you had remaining before the update.

You will need to email your serial number along the version number and your company information or purchase information so that I can verify eligibility and email the new registration number back to you.


Remember, you don't need to apply all previous updates in order to update TATEMS 2005 Fleet Maintenance Software.

So if you missed one you can just use the most current one.

You can watch a tutorial video that shows you some of the new updates here:

=====================================
Always make sure you make a backup copy of your data before updating.

The data file to backup is called

TATEMS2005be.mdb and is normally located in the:

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005


Folder.

You can just right click on the file and choose copy and then paste it back into the same folder or another folder to create a backup copy.

There is also a backup feature in TATEMS 2005 if you go to File->Backup and Compact Data

=========================================================
For Users that already have a working copy of TATEMS 2005 on your computer
=========================================================

This is a front end only download about 2 Megs.

This update requires that you have TATEMS 2005 installed on your computer.

You can get the 3.1.01eXP update here:

WARNING: Do not install this update unless you have made your purchase within the last 12 months or have purchased additional years of support and version upgrades that cover you until 11-10-2005.

http://tatems.com/download/TATEMS2005-3.1.01eXP.exe

Make sure TATEMS is closed and then after downloading the file you can double click it to unzip the files:

into:

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005

If you are UPDATING TATEMS on a NETWORK you will need to re-link to the data file after the update by going to

Tools->Networking

If you go to Tools ->Networking before updating you will be able to see where the data file is located. Write down the path and then use that information after the update to re-link to the data file.

You should always update TATEMS on every workstation on your network, one after another, not at the exact same time... and don't allow any users to use an old version after an update has been done on any workstation on the network.

That's all you need to.

Thanks Again.
