Settings Merger
Settings Merger updates the FormTrap Server control files
with new or replacement information and is run in two situations:
- Automatically when FormTrap Support or your vendor sends
a new License Upgrade file to you. License Upgrade runs an
InstallShield procedure which stops the FormTrap Server, runs the
update and restarts FormTrap Server.
After, check by looking for changes to Licensed to: display at the top of the FTClient display in either or both of organization name and /or number of printers.
- Manually after upgrading V7 to V8 by installing to a new
system, replicating the existing Queue Structure by copying the
entire existing ..\fthome folder to the new installation.
Select Settings Merger from the FormTrap, Server V8 program group.
Select the file sas.xml from the saved location and Open to merge.
(See PowerPoint Version 8 Upgrade from V7 HERE for additional information).
