This could be interesting but I'll have to check if the upgrade requires EQ6 to be installed before adding EQ7. I've been using EQ for a while and am at #6 now. But each one after EQ4 is an upgrade. So whenever I get a new computer I will need to install 4 then 5 then 6 .... I'm not sure that I want to add another link to the chain.

Hi Allison, you'll get the correct info about upgrading from EQ themselves by e-mail .... the only specific info regarding upgrades that I have seen concerns having a full EQ5 with #6upgrade =3D #7Upgrade.....I don't see why it shouldn't also work for previous editions with a full chain. All that is required to load the #7 upgrade when you have the full #5 installed is the license#and password for #6.......activations on #6 don't count.
I have just pre-ordered from Planet Patchwork: Upgrade with coupon code: infoeq7 (worth $3 off) plus FREE SHIPPING special.....I'm pleased! jennellh
Yes, you have to have EQ6 installed before installing the update.
One of the main reasons I bought 7 was that they finally did away with the stupid activation policy. You can now load your EQ on as many machines as you need to. Even have 2 machines running EQ at the same time. Version 6 limited you to (I think) 4 installations total. I loaded it onto my PC and laptop. Then I got a new PC, so it took my 3rd allowed activation to load it. For awhile there, I had trouble with my laptop and was afraid I was going to have to use my 4th activation to re-load everything.
I swore I was going back to version 5 and was never going to buy another EQ product.
And I agree it is a royal PITA to have to keep loading the previous versions. I didn't start using it till 5, but I sure see your point. But the only other option that I can see is to buy each version as a new purchase, rather than an update!
Maybe you could get a full version of 5 or 6 cheaper and start loading from there?

You do not need to have EQ6 installed before upgrading to EQ7. You just need your "license ID" & "password", which is inside the back cover of your EQ6 User Manual. Also, upgrading from EQ6 to EQ7 does not count as using an EQ6 license.

I'm not a computer expert, but if you are using a PC will the new computer be running MS 7? If so, would EQ 4, 5, 6, even install on MS 7 so that you could then install the EQ 7 upgrade? I have never used EQ.
I've had problems with other programs. I've been a Family Tree Maker user for many years, bought countless up grades, and various indexes/archives of information, i.e. Census Microfilm Records: Pennsylvania1850, and I cannot access the information on the CDs with FTM 2010! Now I have over 30 other CDs that I cannot use! Yes I am writing a letter.
I was able to use all of my old files and I even figured out how to make a backup CD, and with the fancy new LightScribe CDs and program I can scribe label them and even put pictures on them!
Isn't technology wonderful?

Why would a person have purchased EQ6 and NOT installed it?
Cindy
I'm guessing it would only be if you were setting up EQ7 on a new computer. It would save one link in the installation chain....
I'm curious to see what new features EQ7 has that would make me want to upgrade.
