Eplan Recommendations

• Restart the PC you want to install so that Windows is up to date.
• Your Windows account used to log in must have local administrators assigned rights.
• Your firewall and virus scanners do not block the installation process.

Hint:

Symbol libraries, function definitions, templates and other master data are regularly extended by Eplan. You have 2 options how to process or handle the master data when updating the Eplan Platform to a newer version.

Standard (recommended)

• The directory settings from your previous version are automatically applied. 
• Your advantage, no double data storage. Projects created with a previous version retain your master data as long as you do not consciously update the master data.

User-defined

• Use a new directory specification (e.B. with version number of the platform) for the system master data provided with the new version.

• Note that parts of your self-created master data with the previous version, e.B macros, images, documents and templates, may have to be copied to the new data directory.

Example: <Drive>:\<Folder Path>\Eplan\Data\2022\Forms\XYZ\[XYZ]_FN1_001_V02.fn1" > copy to > <drive>:\<folder path>\Eplan\Data\2025\Plotframes\XYZ\[XYZ]_FN1_001_V02.fn1"
