Upgrading Notes

Program Data:

• During the upgrade/installation process, CrossTrak will automatically recognize and upgrade your data for the new version, providing the *old* program and data are still present on the system during the upgrade/installation process.
• You can not use CrossTrak's Restore Database utility or copy the CrossTrak Userdata folder between different versions of the program.

New computer or reformatted hard drive:

• To use your *old* data with the latest version of CrossTrak on a new computer or reformatted hard drive, you should upgrade to the latest version of CrossTrak on the old computer/hard drive first. Once this upgrade is complete, you may move your *old* data to the new computer using the Backup/Restore Database utility or by copying your Userdata folder.
• The WebBackup utility may be used to restore data from a previous version of CrossTrak without upgrading the *old* data first.
• If neither of the above options is possible, please contact us about having your data upgraded manually.

Power Data:

• Power data imported while using Version 2.8 may not automatically appear in power output reports after upgrading to v2.9+. To ensure the accuracy of power-related reports, find each workout with power data attached, open the HRM/Session Editor (right-click, Edit HRM/Session data) and re-calculate the zones (Calc Zones, OK).
• This procedure is not necessary for workouts imported while using v2.9+.
