There is a 30 day evaluation period. The goal of this is to try out whether or not upgrading will be useful for you as end user. So, if you find out that it’s not sufficiently useful then there shall be a way back to a previous working situation.
A backup won’t help here after 30 days of computer use. I expect I don’t have to explain it here.
In my honest opinion PhaseOne should during installation create a copy of the original catalog, in order to be able to always go back to a previous working situation. This is a no brainer to me. A second best scenario would at least be a popup warning on screen such as “PhaseOne are going to modify your catalog and you cannot go back to a previous situation. Do you want to continue Y/N?”
Well, PhaseOne hasn’t implemented this. So please be warned….
Apart from this I’m really happy with V12, it’s working great and can recommend it to everyone.
