Update Elliott V7.5 to the Most Current Version
Since you will be running Elliott V7.5 and V8 side by side, you should keep them at the same revision level. For example, Eliott V7.56.706 and Eliott V8.06.706 are at the same revision level. Assuming you are installing the latest Elliott V8 on top of Elliott 7.5, then you should install the latest Elliott V7.5 release as well. Once you switch all users to Elliott V8 and stop using Elliott V7.5, then you don't need to perform this step anymore. The following are steps to install latest Elliott V7.5 update:
- Download the latest Elliott V7.5 update package ELI75UP.EXE from this URL: http://www.elliott.com\eli75up.exe. Alternatively, you can also download from the support download area of www.elliott.com website.
- Run the installation from the Elliott server into your current Elliott V7 folder (e.g., M:\Elliott7.)
