My Changed Settings have Vanished after Restart

You have to click on the "Save" button in the settings dialog. Otherwise, the settings will only be valid for the current session.

Update/Change the License File

You will get an eMail containing a license file;

• please close expecco,
• find and remove (or rename) the file named .expeccoLicense in your home directory (eg. C:\Users\username)
• reopen expecco. It will ask for a license file
• either drag & drop the new license file or select it in the file dialog

What Happens when a New expecco-Release is Installed

We put a lot effort into making new releases backward compatible. In general, there is no need to modify existing test suites or to reimport libraries. All suites are "self-contained", meaning that any previously imported library is contained and unaffected by the release change (unless you reimport and save the suite).

In a few cases, incompatibilities were introduced in the past by changed timing or by a bug fix, for which customers already added a workaround, which no longer matched the new release. However, the later can only happen after a reimport (eg. of the standard library).

If your suite fails to execute in a new release (without reimport), we consider that as a malfunction and exept will provide a fix (patch) as soon as possible. Please report such behavior via expeccoALM, for it to be fixed.

Please read the release notes before installing a new version, install the new release in a separate folder (i.e. without removing the older version), and test run your suite(s) before switching.

Be careful, if the new release has added features which were not present previously: if such features are used, and a suite is saved, the suite may report errors when loaded in the older version.
