Installation
Installation is a two-step process. First, install TREAT from the downloaded file, then register your TREAT software license.
Install
- IMPORTANT To avoid permanently deleting all projects created with TREAT version 2.5.50 or earlier, you must rename the Treat\Data folder before installing version 3.0. Change the name of the folder to "Old_Data" or another suitable name. You can check the version number of TREAT by starting TREAT and clicking Help > About on the main menu at the top of the screen.
- Close all programs before installing. If you have an earlier version of TREAT installed on your computer, it is not necessary to remove it before installing version 3.0. (Follow the instructions in the Treat Manual if you wish to remove version 2.5.50 or earlier without permanently deleting your project data.)
You are now ready to use TREAT Software
