Salon Maid Software UPGRADE FROM 2.2 TO 2.29

You have a significantly old version of the software, so first you will have to upgrade from ver.2.2 (or ver. 2.25) to ver.2.26, then you will need to upgrade from ver.2.26 to 2.27 , then you will need to upgrade from 2.27 to 2.28 and finally you will need to upgrade from 2.28 to 2.29.
 
HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPGRADE FROM VER.2.2 (or ver. 2.25) TO VER.2.26 :
 
1.) Please backup your current database file to a safe place (so you won't loose all your data), you can find your Database file in "C:\ProgramFiles\POS\". If you have ver. 2.2 your database file will be one of these three files, depending on what software you currently have: PM22.mdb, RM22.mdb or SM22.mdb.  
 
2.) Remove the current software by going to "Control Panel" and "Add/Remove Programs".
In here, you will get a menu of all the installed programs on your PC, find ours and select it and click on the button to remove it. In the program removal process, if you are asked if you want to keep any shared files, select "No" or "No To All", and delete all the files.
 
3.) Please go to the respective links below to download the newest version of your respective program title to your system:

SALON MAID 2.26: http://www.alexandriacomputers.com/ver2.26/SM226.zip 

4.) After you unzip/extract the file containing the newest software (by right-clicking on it and selecting "extract all"), you can run the executable Setup file to install it, exactly the way you did with the previous version if you had a download.
 
5.) Copy over the backup of the database, that you made in "Step 1", into "C:\Program Files\POS\".
 
6.) After the installation of the newer software is done, the new file to run will be named "POS Maid 2.26", "Restaurant Maid 2.26 " or "Salon Maid 2.26".
When you run the new software for the first time, it will require a new password, similarly to the way the older version did, however, you do not need to activate this version of the software, because it will not be the one you will be using ultimately (simply run it as a "DEMO" to go on with the instructions below and upgrade to a newer version).
 
7.) To update and transfer the database, in other words to carry over all the information from the old to the new version of the software:
Please backup your current database file (just in case so you won't loose all your data if something goes wrong in this process), you can find your Database file in "C:\ProgramFiles\POS\". If you have ver. 2.2 your database file will be one of these three files, depending on what software you currently have: PM22.mdb, RM22.mdb or SM22.mdb. Go to the NEW SOFTWARE that you have just installed, click on "Import Data", then "Upgrade Database" and then click on the "Upgrade" button.  This process is very intensive and requires full attention from your PC, so do not run any other programs at this time. Due to the intensity of this process, your PC may look like it froze and it is not responding, but there are no problems unless you see an error message or an OK message that everything went through fine. Please be patient, this process may last several minutes, it depends on how much data you have and wait until you get an OK message representing the successfully copied data in to the new database, before doing anything else.
Please note that POS MAID customers will only be able to upgrade free of charge to POS MAID 2.26 ; Restaurant Maid customers will only be able to upgrade free of charge to Restaurant MAID 2.26; Salon Maid customers will only be able to upgrade free of charge to Salon Maid 2.26.
