Gold
Overview
Predictive Patterns GeneLinker(TM) Gold 3.1 uses a new license management technology that is incompatible with the license management technology used by Molecular Mining GeneLinker(TM). This change has been made due to the very high rate of problems with the old technology. However, it means that for all upgrades you must Uninstall your old version of GeneLinker(TM) before installing the new one.
If you are currently running GeneLinker(TM) Gold Version 2.5 or 3.0 you will be able to keep your existing data repository (it is preserved by the uninstall process unless you explicitly request its removal), and it will be automatically upgraded when you install GeneLinker(TM) Gold Version 3.1.
If you are running a version of GeneLinker(TM) Gold that is earlier than Version 2.5, please contact Predictive Patterns technical support for help with upgrading.
Please follow these instructions for upgrading GeneLinker(TM) Gold to Version 3.1.
For all versions of GeneLinker(TM) Gold is less than Version 3.1, you will need to Uninstall the old version of GeneLinker(TM) before installing the new one.
If you have a floating client license, please contact Predictive Patterns. Floating licenses are no longer supported. However, our multi-license pricing should be able to accommodate your needs.
Once you have uninstalled your old version of GeneLinker(TM) Gold, please follow the Install instructions.
The following instructions are "legacy documentation" that may be of use to experienced users.
GeneLinker(TM) Gold uses an installer program to make the upgrade process simple. If you are running GeneLinker(TM) Gold, please exit the application before starting the upgrade process.
