Upgrading HLS

Current as of version 12E

Standard Upgrade

When you start up HLS, it automatically checks for the most recent version. If there is a new version, a window will open asking if you want to upgrade. If you choose yes, you will be redirected to the website to download the newest version.

• Simply download the latest version, unzip the files, and overwrite the old files with the new ones.

Upgrade Path for Skipped Updates

Due to the high rate of development of HLS, if a user is not monitoring the updates frequently, it is easy to fall several versions behind. If someone upgrades to the latest version from an older version, there is risk of data loss from the sequence files no longer being able to be opened.

To address this concern, there is an upgrade path that can be taken to move from older version to the newest version. Each time an upgrade step is made, any sequences that you want to keep should be opened in that step and saved before moving to the next step.

• Upgrading from a version less than 11E: Install version 11H [1]
• Next, upgrade from 11H to the most current version. [2]
