Upgrading from Version 4 to ESP 5

The following items have been developed to help ease your transition from Version 4 to ESP 5 and should be reviewed before you begin using ESP 5. If you have any questions or if you require assistance with this process contact us by phone or e-mail.

When you convert your data from Version 4 to ESP 5, the Version 4 DOS data is not removed from your computer so you will still have full access to Version 4. We recommend that you run both Version 4 and ESP 5 until you are completely familiar with ESP 5.

Upgrade guide

The upgrade guide is a PDF* document that walks you through converting your data and will help you become familiar with ESP 5.

This document is installed automatically on your computer when you run the SetupESP.exe program file in the same folder that you saved the program in. You can open this from the START menu.

You may also download this guide from the document section on the ESP5 downloads page.
