Important Note About Updating
When updating to a newer version, CompuDance
does not change your data files so that you have to re-enter any
data! The only difference between the update and your current version is that you will be able to take advantage of
the new, enhanced features and the latest
fixes. Your data stays the same!
Therefore, you can update at any time; you do not have to wait until you create a New Year. The new updated version will be able to access data
created with versions of CompuDance
from 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 and 8.0
See FAQ #9 for more details
