Updating from tryout to the full licensed version
If you first installed the tryout version of the component and purchased a license, you'll have to upgrade to the full, unencoded version.
To do so, you have 2 options.
- Uninstall the tryout and install the full version
- When you purchased a license, you received a code and a download link. You can use the download link to get the full version of the component. Just go to Component and download the version that you wish to install (com_formex.x.x.zip for Joomla 1.0.x or com_formex.x.xJ15.zip for Joomla 1.5.x). You can also get the component by going to your tryout installation, pasting the code in the code box, and then clicking on Support > Files. Note that you won't be able to access the support area without a valid code.
- After you downloaded the full version of the component, you can backup the forms you created with the tryout (if any) by clicking on Backup your forms
- Once you backed-up the forms, uninstall the tryout version
- Install the full version of the component
- Add the code in the code box
- Click on Restore and point to the backup file
- Update from tryout to full version(doesn't work on all servers)
- Paste the code you received in the Your Code box.
- Attention! this procedure doesn't work on servers that do not have the Allow remote inclusion php option set to true. So if you see the message:
Error, invalid code or remote file _update_rsform.xml not available
you won't be able to use this procedure.- Click on the Accept terms checkbox
- Click on Update
- The tryout will be replaced with the Full version automatically.
