Run the installer like a normal update.
The beta will replace the current version of ElectroBIM on the computer. It is not possible to run the current version and the beta at the same time.
Install the beta on all of the computers running ElectroBIM at your office. The beta updates projects that it is used on. These updated projects cannot be worked on with previous versions of the software.
Contact us if you do not want to install the beta on all of the computers at your office. How you manage a split installation depends on the specifics of how your company is using the software.
Before participating in the beta, make sure you have a robust backup system in place. At minimum, make sure you can easily retrieve a copy of a project from yesterday, last week, and last month.
We will regularly release new versions of the beta. These updates are installed using our regular installer. Make sure that you can easily and regularly install new versions of the software on all of your computers.
Use your discretion before installing this software. We support its use on active projects, but there is the possibility you will run into bugs. We will do our best to fix them as quickly as possible.
If you have a project going out tomorrow, we recommend you wait to install the beta until after your deadline has passed.
We are looking for feedback on the messages you receive when multiple people are working on a project. The goal is a single message alerting you to any conflicts. The single message should be clear about who the conflict is with and what elements are in conflict.
You should not get multiple warnings or popups. You should not be confused about how to resolve the problem.
We are interested in any situations you run into where our alerts do not meet these standards. Screenshots are always helpful. These situations can be complicated to recreate. You are welcome to contact us immediately to observe the problem. That can help us in getting it fixed. Our number is 866-516-9497 x2.
