Big Improvements!

 

BIGGER PACKAGING!

 SAFE is now available in a rotogravure coffee table boxed set. Perfect for display in your conference center or stylish living room. The bound leatherette shows every one you mean business.

BIGGER DISKS!

 A program as huge as SAFE/XL needs capacity. SAFE.XL is delivered on 8" Verbatim floppy disks. Sure you'll need a DEC VAX 760 to install it, but hey, does your accounting software deserve anything less than a server as big as an Escalade?

BIGGER MANUALS!

 SAFE/XL's documentation has been re-printed in adult-friendly LARGE TYPE on 11x17" heavy paper. When opened at the half-way point, it passes convincingly for some ancient religious text; further enhancing your image as a beneficent management team.

How To Obtain This Upgrade
1. Stop right here. It's an April Fools gag. For information on SAFE/X, click here.
2. There are new passwords for this upgrade. Your existing installation password will not work! Please contact us for an updated password.
3. If you have any custom forms from Suntower Systems do not run SETUP until you have received updated forms from us!
4. It is critical that you backup your complete SIMPLE folder and your SQL Server databases before you run SETUP. If your SQL Server database is not stored under the SIMPLE folder, then that must also be backed up.

Note: Make sure you have a complete backup of your SQL Server database. Many backup programs do not properly back up SQL Server databases! The surest way to make a database backup is from within the SQL Server Enterprise Manager!
5. When you run SETUP, read the installation options carefully so as not to overwrite any existing data! Install only the Program and no data files besides the Sorts and Filters!
6. As we have been saying: you will not be eligible for this upgrade if your RSS subscription is not current. You will be charged an additional $180.00 to upgrade to SAFE X from SAFE 9 if your support contract is not current by June 15, 2008. If your version of SAFE has not been upgraded to Version 7, you will be charged an additional upgrade fee to receive version X.

IMPORTANT STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN UPGRADING!
1. Backup your current database before you begin!
2. Test your backup!
3. Install SAFE SQL XL, making certain that no users are logged into SAFE
4. Open SQL Query Analyzer
5. Open the "SQL XL Database Update Script.SQL" file.
6. Press <F5> to execute this script and convert the database to be compatible with SAFE X.
7. Close SQL Server Query Analyzer and start SAFE XL.
Congratulations! You did it.
