Database Upgrade Required for all users upgrading to this version from any version previous. If you are upgrading an SQL database, contact the SQL Administrator first.
On Center Software recommends that if you have bids due that you wait to install any upgrade until you have sufficient time. It is also a good idea to make an archival backup of your database files before installing any upgrade.
Once the download is complete, double-click the file to run the Installer.
The installer will remove your previous version, then install the upgraded application.
Note: Your data files will not be affected until they are accessed in this version of On-Screen Takeff.
Note: On-Screen Takoeff 3.8 is an upgrade for all previous versions of On-Screen Takeoff 3. If you have a version older than 3.6 it is recommended that you contact Technical Support for assistance.
