Upgrading the Standalone Application

Upgrading to a new version might require a new license key. To check if your license key is compatible with the new version, select Help > Check for New Version. Note that the application needs an Internet connection to check the license compatibility.
Note: Any customization that was applied to a predefined document type will be removed by an upgrade.
Note: If there is a previous version of Oxygen XML Author already installed on your computer, it can coexist with the new one, which means you don't have to uninstall it. However, if you choose to uninstall the older version please note that all the files from its install directory will be removed, including any modification in Author frameworks files, XSLT stylesheets, XML catalogs, and templates. If you have modified any files in that directory, it is recommended to keep the older version until you are sure you don't need it anymore. The user preferences are stored in a different directory. They will not be removed and will be imported automatically in the new version at the first application launch.
  1. Download the install kit of the new version.
  2. Create a new folder under /../oxygenAuthor e. g. /../oxygenAuthor/ 13.2
  3. Extract the content of the install kit into the new folder.
  4. If you have defined Oxygen XML Author in the system PATH, modify it to point to the new installation folder.
  5. Start Oxygen XML Author This will test that the application can start and that your license is recognized by the upgrade installation.
