Installation
This chapter describes how to install FactoryLink on Windows NT and Windows
95 platforms. Perform an initial installation if you have never installed
FactoryLink software on the destination before using one of two methods:
• Express Installation—Installs all licensed FactoryLink software modules.
• Custom Installation—Installs individual FactoryLink modules. As some options
depend upon others, an incomplete or incorrect group of choices could result in
an incompatible mix.

installed FactoryLink.
Have the following information included in Exhibit A in the authorization

package available:
• Authorization desk phone and fax numbers
• List of the FactoryLink options purchased
• FactoryLink Serial Number
• FactoryLink Configuration Sequence
Each FactoryLink system is assigned a unique serial number and configuration

sequence. The configuration sequence specifies which tasks have been purchased
for a particular serial number. The system uses both numbers to create a
registration code during installation.

• Upgrading FactoryLink Version
•
•
U PGRADING F ACTORY L INK VERSION
Perform the following steps to install a newer version of FactoryLink on a
computer that has existing FactoryLink software.
Note: Installing FactoryLink overwrites the ctlist and titles files.

These files are located in the FLINK\ctgen and FLINK\ac
directories, respectively. If you have a custom task, save a copy
of these files before installing FactoryLink. After installing
FactoryLink, you can edit your custom lines in the just-saved
ctlist and titles files into the new FLINK\ctgen\ctlist and
FLINK\ac\titles files. Use this method to ensure no corrections or
new FactoryLink tasks are lost. Once this is done, you can run
FLCONV as appropriate without loss of the customer task
Configuration Manager data.
1. Perform a platform-specific save using the FLSAVE utility to back up the

existing FactoryLink application. Refer to Chapter 7, “FactoryLink Utilities”,
in FactoryLink Fundamentals for details on using FLSAVE.
Caution: It is highly recommended that you install your
upgrade to a different directory than your existing
FactoryLink installation to avoid mismatched
versions of system files.
2. Install FactoryLink software. The path to the previously installed version of

FactoryLink appears in the Install to field. We recommend installing to a new
directory.
3. Restore the application you saved previously in this procedure using the
FLREST utility. Refer to Chapter 7, “FactoryLink Utilities”, in FactoryLink
Fundamentals for details on using FLREST.
4. Convert the application to the new FactoryLink version using the FLCONV
utility. Refer to Chapter 7, “FactoryLink Utilities”, in FactoryLink

The procedure to migrate a FactoryLink application built under one operating
system to a computer running a different operating system depends on your
FactoryLink software version.
Caution: Before migrating any FactoryLink application, you
must perform a multiplatform save on your original
application first. Refer to Chapter 7, “FactoryLink
Utilities”, in FactoryLink Fundamentals for details
about using the FLSAVE utility to save an
application.
Migrating Version 4.3 or Later

Perform the following steps to migrate a FactoryLink application built under one
operating system to a computer running a different operating system:
1 Perform a multiplatform save using the FLSAVE utility to back up the existing
FactoryLink application. Refer to Chapter 106, “FactoryLink Utilities”, in
FactoryLink Fundamentals for details on using FLSAVE.
2 Install FactoryLink on the new operating system.
Note: Perform a platform-specific save if you want to maintain

the copy of the FactoryLink version you currently have on your
system.
3 Restore the multiplatform-saved version of the application you saved previously

in this procedure on the new computer using the FLREST utility. Refer to Chapter
106, “FactoryLink Utilities”, in FactoryLink Fundamentals for details on using
FLREST.
4 Convert the application to the new version of FactoryLink using the FLCONV
utility. Refer to Chapter 106, “FactoryLink Utilities”, in FactoryLink
