OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 supports a
side-by-side installation of multiple versions of
OpenBuildings Speedikon on the same
machine. You can run multiple versions of
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition
&
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 on the same
machine. Installation of
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 will by
default occur alongside any previous installations. Removing previous versions
of
OpenBuildings Speedikon will require a
manual uninstall.
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023's installation
directory and Configuration are in a different location than the previous
version. In the default installation, you can work on two different
configurations defined during
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition and
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 installation.
Note: Side-by-side
installation is only available for major releases. Installing a minor release
will upgrade the current version of
OpenBuildings Speedikon installed on your
machine.
If you wish
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 to work with
the same configuration as
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition,
then you must review and complete the following tasks during and after the
installation process to share the configuration among two
OpenBuildings Speedikon versions.
Set the default
Delivered Configuration directory during Installation
During the installation of
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023, you must
define the same directory path as the Delivered Configuration directory of
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition.
The default Delivered Configuration directory path is
"C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenBuildings 2023\". Change this directory path to
"C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenBuildings CONNECT Edition\" as shown in the
following images:
Note: While installing
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT
Edition, if you installed the Delivered Configuration to the custom directory
(Other than "
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT
Edition" directory) then you must select the same custom directory while
installing
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023.
Set Custom
Configuration directory during Installation
During the installation of
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023, if you wish
to share your existing Custom Configuration, then you must set the same
directory path of the Custom Configuration directory of
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition.
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition
Custom Configuration directory is "D:\Bentley\WS". You should browse the same
directory during
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023
installation.
Note: OpenBuildings Speedikon Configurations are not
version dependent. Bentley tries to minimize any disruptions to Configurations,
however in some Open products there may be instances where some configuration
changes take place. Please refer to the release documents of those products.
Copy and Paste the
"prefs" folder after Installation
If you wish to use Preferences and User Configuration
from the previous version, then after installation, launch
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 and close
the session to set the default preferences at
"C:\Users\<user.name>\AppData\Local\Bentley\OpenBuildings
Speedikon\23.0.0" directory.
Now copy the "prefs" directory from
"C:\Users\ASN\AppData\Local\Bentley\
OpenBuildings Speedikon\10.0.0" and paste at "C:\Users\ASN\AppData\Local\Bentley\
OpenBuildings Speedikon\23.0.0" to replace the
existing "prefs" directory.
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 should work
seamlessly with the existing configurations. This configuration will be shared
between
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition
and
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023 versions.
Note: You must follow
step 3, every time if there is any change in preference settings in
OpenBuildings Speedikon CONNECT Edition
which you wish to use in
OpenBuildings Speedikon 2023.
