Version¶
VC Hub uses a version structure: "Major Version. Minor Version. Revision Version". The project data version must match the version of the running program to operate.
Uninstallation¶
The user data directory and the installation program directory are independent. Uninstalling will not delete user data. If necessary, you can manually delete the user data directory.
Upgrade¶
Within the maintenance period, you can upgrade to the VC Hub installation package released during the maintenance period for free.
If the maintenance has expired and has not been renewed, you can upgrade to the revision version for free. As long as the "Major Version. Minor Version" matches the current authorized version, there are no restrictions on upgrading.
Direct upgrade installation is not currently supported. Before upgrading, please uninstall first. After uninstalling, install the new version.
