Note for users of TimePanic 3.0 or older
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that starting with TimePanic 3.1, your data are stored in a format that is incompatible with previous TimePanic versions. In other words, once you have started a newer version, you cannot uninstall TimePanic and reinstall the old version. Also, you cannot share your data with other users who continue to use a version of TimePanic earlier than version 3.1.

Upgrade Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please back up your data before upgrading, because a failure to follow the upgrade instructions correctly can lead to a complete loss of your data. To back up your data, exit TimePanic and make a copy of the folders specified under "Tool/Options/Directories".

To upgrade from the previous version of TimePanic for Windows and Pocket PC, synchronize all changes and uninstall the previous version (see instructions below) before installing the new version. This ensures that no TimePanic file is in use by ActiveSync during the installation.

Important: During the uninstall process, you will be asked if you want to delete your time tracking data. Make sure to answer "No" both on Windows and on your Pocket PC.

If after the installation of the new version the "Combine or Replace" dialog of ActiveSync shows up during synchronization, select the "Replace the items on my device with the items on this computer" option.

How much does the upgrade cost?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The upgrade is free of charge.
