Installing

To install Adagio Checks from the Adagio Product CD, you need the serial number and install code from the Product Label that came with your CD.

If you are installing an upgrade, you need the serial number and install code from the Upgrade Product Label that came with your upgrade CD. A previous version of Adagio Checks should already be installed on your computer before installing the upgrade. If a previous version is not already installed, you can still install the upgrade. After entering the upgrade serial number and install code, you will also have to enter the serial number and install code from your previous version.

If you are installing a Program Temporary Fix (PTF), you do not need to enter a serial number or install code. However, a previous version of Adagio Checks 6.8A must be installed before the PTF can be installed.

To install Adagio Checks (or an upgrade), run ADAGIO.EXE from the root of the CD. Once the install program is running, you can click the Help button for detailed instructions. If Adagio Checks is installed on a network, you must also do a workstation install for each workstation running Adagio Checks. Refer to the manual or help for workstation install instructions.

To install the Adagio Checks PTF, run SETUP.EXE and follow the instructions on the screen. A workstation install is not required when installing the PTF.

If you are upgrading Adagio Checks from version 6.5A or older, and you are using the Softline Multi-User Pack (MUP), it must be replaced by an Adagio Lanpak. Please contact your dealer for upgrade information. To avoid a reduction in the number of licenses available to run your applications, do not install the Adagio Checks upgrade until you have received an Adagio Lanpak to replace your MUP. The method of licensing used by Adagio Lanpak is different than the MUP. Refer to the Adagio Checks or Adagio Lanpak Readme help file for details.

Upgrading to this Version

There are no special instructions for upgrading to this version. A database conversion is not required. However, changes to your existing check specifications may be required (see below). Note: Adagio Checks does not support multi-currency. Adagio Checks is no longer compatible with Windows 3.1x.

Converting Check Specifications from Previous Versions

Adagio Checks 6.8A includes a new version of the Check Designer. In most cases checks will print correctly from specifications designed in earlier versions. However, we recommend specifications created in previous versions be converted before they are used in version 6.8A. To convert a specification, simply open it and save it in the designer. Minor adjustments may be required after the specification is converted, and we recommend you print test checks after installing Adagio Checks 6.8A to ensure they are printing correctly.

When check specifications are converted, the Autosize property is automatically turned off due to the conversion. Thus the specification may need to be edited. You may need to turn Autosize back on for any field where it was on prior to the conversion. To change the Autosize property, right mouse click on a field in the Designer and select Properties | Formats.

In some cases if the Page Size in a check specification is set to 'Default', it may not print correctly in version 6.8A, depending on your printer settings in Windows. We recommend you change the setting to 'Letter 8 ½ x 11 in' (or other specific size as appropriate).

Note: Specifications created with Adagio Checks 6.8A cannot be used with earlier versions of Adagio Checks.
