View source for Faq how to switch from demo version of PLS Toolbox or Solo to install and use a new purchased version

===Issue:===

How do I switch from a demo version of PLS_Toolbox or Solo to install and use a new purchased version?

===Possible Solutions:===

'''For Matlab add-on software products (PLS_Toolbox and MIA_Toolbox)'''

If you had a demo of PLS_Toolbox or MIA_Toolbox and have now purchased a full license then you should download and install the full version because: 
#The demo will expire soon and stop working, and 
#The full purchased copy includes the source m-files while the demo only includes obfuscated .p source files. 

You can download either the .exe or the .zip PLS_Toolbox installer by logging in to your Eigenvector account and clicking on the "Download" tab, then click on the "Download" button next to PLS_Toolbox or MIA_Toolbox and on the next page choose between the .exe or .zip installer.

If you download the .exe installer you should follow the instructions at [[Installation#Using_the_Windows_EXE_Installer | Using the Windows EXE Installer]]

If you download the .zip installer then follow the instructions at [[Installation#Manually_Installing_from_ZIP_File_.28all_platforms.29 | Manually Installing from ZIP File]]

The two installers differ only in the .exe handles unpacking the zip file of source code and opens a wizard to guide you through choosing where to install the source files and then running the install script. 

Important notes:<br />
#If you use the '''.exe''' installer then you do not need to worry about the existing installed demo source files. This installer will install its source files into a new folder in your Matlab's "toolbox" folder by default, and delete the previous demo source files automatically. For example, for Matlab version R2014b and PLS_Toolbox version 7.9 this would be like: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2014b\toolbox\PLS_Toolbox_79 
#If you use the '''.zip''' installer then you manually select where to unpack these new source folders. If you unpack it to the same folder as where the demo's p-files were installed then it is '''important to first delete the demo's folders''', (otherwise the p-files will still be there and will be used preferentially over the m-files) 
#Be sure to use the new license code. The new purchased license will have a different license code from the old demo, and you will need to enter this new code when prompted for it during the installation process. 

'''For Solo/Solo+MIA/Solo+Model_Exporter'''

#For '''Solo''' (or variant), switching from a demo to a purchased version is simpler because it is a stand-alone product and there are no Matlab source files involved. 
*If your newly purchased Solo (variant) is for a newer version than your demo then you should download and install the current latest version. 
*If your demo has the same version as the current latest version then you simply switch to using the new license code. You can enter a new code using the "Help" > "Reset License" menu in the Solo Workspace Browser.
