Salon Maid Software UPGRADE FROM 2.28 TO 2.29

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPGRADE FROM VER.2.28 TO VER.2.29 :
 
1.) Please backup your current database files to a safe place (so you won't loose all your data), you can find your Database file in "C:\POS\". If you have ver. 2.28 your database file will be one of these three files, depending on what software you currently have: PM228.mdb, RM228.mdb or SM228.mdb as well as the ML228.mdb file (make sure our software is turned off and not running while you are backing up the file).  
 
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:
POS MAID 2.29: http://www.alexandriacomputers.com/ver2.29/PM229.exe
RESTAURANT MAID 2.29: http://www.alexandriacomputers.com/ver2.29/RM229.exe
SALON MAID 2.29: http://www.alexandriacomputers.com/ver2.29/SM229.exe
 
4.) After you download the file containing the newest software, you can run it (by simply double-clicking on it) to install the new software.
 
5.) Copy over the backup of the database, that you made in "Step 1", into "C:\POS\".
 
6.) After the installation of the new software is done, the new title, in your Windows, to run will be named "POS Maid 2.29", "Restaurant Maid 2.29 or "Salon Maid 2.29.
When you run the new software for the first time, it will require a new password, similarly to the way the older version did, you will e-mail us with the new registration number to obtain your new password.  After you obtain and input the new password, you are all done with the installation.
 
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:
If you have ver. 2.28 our database file will be one of these three files, depending on what software you currently have: PM228.mdb, RM228.mdb or SM228.mdb. Go to the NEW SOFTWARE that you have just installed, click on "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 2.29 (not any other software title); Restaurant Maid customers will only be able to upgrade free of charge to Restaurant MAID 2.29 (not any other software title); Salon Maid customers will only be able to upgrade free of charge to Salon Maid 2.29 (not any other software title).
