Installing Updates
When updating within a version series (for example RFEM 5.01 .01 to 5.01 .02), the old program files are removed and replaced by new ones. The project data of course remains unchanged. When updating to the next version series (for example RFEM 5.02 .01), the new version is installed in parallel. The program files are located in different directories, so the previous version is still available.Screenshots
