Upgrading Equipment Management

After running the installation wizard to upgrade Equipment Management, the upgrade wizard automatically opens if the system or company needs upgrading. If you have more than one company, you must run the upgrade wizard for each company.

IMPORTANT: If you are using Signature products, the Signature dictionary must be upgraded before you upgrade Equipment Management.

Step 1: Run the installation wizard

1. Launch Equipment Management.exe.
2. On the Welcome screen, select Next >.
3. Accept the terms of the license agreement, and select Next >.
4. Accept the default installation location, or use the Browse... button to navigate to the location where Microsoft Dynamics GP is installed. Select Next >.
5. When you are ready to begin the installation, select Install. When the installation is complete, select Finish.

Step 2: Enable Signature registration keys

Follow the steps in Installing Product Registration Keys to register your Signature products, then proceed with Step 3 below.

Step 3: Include new code

1. Launch Microsoft Dynamics GP.

2. Select Yes to the message asking if you wish to include new code. A message appears stating that EQUIPMNT.CNK is being included. 

   

   If a progress bar does not appear, verify that the EQUIPMNT.CNK file was saved in the same directory as the DYNAMICS.DIC file.

3. Enter "DYNSA" or "sa" for the user ID. You need to log in as the administrator to complete the installation.

Step 4: Run the upgrade wizard

1. After logging in to Equipment Management as "sa", the Upgrade Wizard opens. On the Welcome screen, select Next >.
2. Review the upgrade information, and select Upgrade. A progress window appears. When the upgrade is complete, select OK.

After an upgrade, you may need to update tabs. See "Setting up tabs" in the Equipment Management User Manual.
