Century Software, Inc., recommends that before upgrading to a new version of TinyTERM, you uninstall any previous versions. However, uninstalling will remove some of your custom configurations. And installing TinyTERM without removing older versions will overwrite those custom configurations.

To save custom configurations before uninstalling, open Windows Explorer or My Computer and browse to the directory C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM. Back up the following files by copying them to a temporary folder:

*.tpx
*.dat

If you’ve written custom scripts, back up the *.cs files as well. You can then uninstall TinyTERM.

After installing and licensing the new version, copy the backup files into your Documents\TinyTERM folder. Your custom configurations will be available again.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to change the install so that the custom configuration files are not overwritten. This was resolved with the creation of the Documents\TinyTERM folder, which is not removed during uninstall.
