Upgrading from Older Versions

Remove Older EduSweep Installations

Older versions of EduSweep will try to place data in your roaming profile and this may conflict with newer data formats used by EduSweep 2.6 and later. It is recommended to remove any older versions of EduSweep to avoid such conflicts.

Remove Existing EduSweep Data

If you encounter issues when using EduSweep 2.6 or later on a machine that has been used with an older version, or if your roaming profile contains old EduSweep data, then the first step is to remove the EduSweep folder from your profile.

The default location for the EduSweep data folder is:

%appdata%/EduSweep

Remove the folder entirely, or all of its contents. Note that if you are using a different location for storing EduSweep data (such as in a portable installation) then the above path must be modified accordingly.

Scan Task Migration

Scan tasks created in older versions of EduSweep will not be imported into the new version because the task format has changed. A conversion tool for updating tasks to the new format may be released at a later date depending on demand.

Custom Signature Migration

Custom signatures created in older versions of EduSweep will not be imported into the new version because the file format has changed. A conversion tool for updating signatures to the new format may be released at a later date depending on demand.
