&caution; If you are a registered user of the shareware version of AWeb, don't download the demo version!

Upgrading from Older Versions of AWeb

Current users of the demo, shareware, and registered shareware versions of AWeb can easily upgrade to the commercial version. After installing the commercial version of AWeb-II, copy your old AWeb hotlist to the new AWeb-II: directory. Your current hotlist will be kept, but your preference settings will be reset.

For users who registered the shareware version of AWeb, it's author Yvon Rozijn (yrozijn@noord.bart.nl) has promised registered users that registrations will remain valid for shareware versions. Special shareware versions will be released along with the 2.x commercial versions, but can be used only if you are a registered user. Shareware versions are numbered 1.x, starting with 1.3.

Visit the AWeb registered page for more information about the registered shareware version.

Upgrading from Other Browsers

Upgrading to AWeb-II is easy for users of other Amiga browser programs. AWeb-II will automatically recognize the TCP/IP stack you are using. If you are upgrading from IBrowse, AWeb-II is able to read your old hotlist directly. If you are upgrading from another browser which stores its hotlist as an HTML document, AWeb-II will be able to read it.
