Here's how to upgrade:  https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/general-info/migrating.html

 

It needs to be done everywhere you have the client installed.

 

Very important things:

  • Do a backup of all TC directories before you upgrade.  If you have to restore, you don't want to lose anything.
  • TC projects are not backwards compatible.  Once you upgrade, the upgraded project won't run on an old version of TC.  Be aware of this as you move through the process.

    Thank you for the swift reply.

    The problem I have is relates to upgrading the licence to version 14 and then individual PCs with TC and/or TE. Your link provided was useful and helped me find the licensing information I need.

    We are fortunate that we have just started to migrate our large testpack from QTP to TestComplete and are trying out different options.

    The current testpack consists of about 250 files of VBscript functions with test data held in a mixture of Excel, XML and Access files, developed over the last 10+ years.
