Upgrading from V5R15 to V5 R16
Upgrading from V5R15 to V5 R16
(OP)
What is the best way to upgrade Catia V5 R15 to V5 R16 when CatiA sends full version of R16? I also don't have enough room to install R16 alongside R15. I also want to keep my CAT Settings. Is this in any of my documentation CD's that come with the install CD's?

The nodelock should be OK, but don't take my word for it - make sure you back up your nodelock file in your iFor directory.

Do NOT EVER use CATSettings between versions. I made this mistake a couple years back, and I had big problems. It actually rendered many functions unuseable in the environment which I imported it into.
Make sure that you install your R16 into a separate envrionment, and that your CATSettings for R16 get their own folder, or they will overwrite the R15 CATSettings (with the default) the first time you open it. I never use the default path that is suggested upon installation.
