Updating to a new Skalp version

1. Upon start, Skalp checks to see if a new version is available for download. 
If this is the case a dialog will ask you wether you wish to update or not.



!In case your current Skalp version is a BETA version, its EXPIRY DATE is also shown.
We strongly advise you to update Skalp before this date passes as you will have to manually update otherwise.


2. If you accept, a second dialog will explain the process that is about to happen.
Skalp will clean your current installation. Your ‘Skalp.lic’ license file and any custom hatch patterns will NOT be removed.

   After a successful uninstall you will be redirected to the Skalp Product Downloads page in your web browser. From there you can always download the latest version. 


3. After successfully downloading you have to reinstall Skalp as described in the Installation Notes. 


! MAKE SURE TO CLOSE AND REOPEN SKETCHUP BEFORE REINSTALLING SKALP


4. In case your Skalp BETA or RC has EXPIRED you need to reinstall Skalp manually.
Start by uninstalling Skalp:
- open the Ruby Console from SketchUps menu and enter ‘Skalp.uninstall’ (without the quotes). Hit enter. The Console should now state ‘True’, indicating Skalp has been successfully uninstalled.
- close and reopen SketchUp and proceed with the Skalp installation as explained under ‘Installation Notes’.

*Please understand that your purchased License will NOT expire.
It is just the BETA or RC builds of Skalp that we need to force an expiry upon in order to make sure you are running a recent version. During BETA or RC, features may undergo changes. 
Make sure to read the Release Notes section at the end of this document for more information. Thanks for your understanding.
