Good morning to all,

I have already searched in the forum but did not find similar discussions.
regarding the update of the software I noticed that there is no update procedure, you need to install the new and uninstall the previous one. Is that right? Is that the right procedure? I have present in the computer in programs and folder documents that belonged to previous versions, which while uninstalling with the appropriate procedure, are not deleted.
Is this accumulation right? for example I have software2013-software2014-software2015-software2016. Can you cancel the precedent?
I have a hard drive not very large and I have space problems for new installations.
if the uninstallation is not deep I can have slowdowns with time and repeated installations. consider also the presence of the many programs of the suite.
How do you behave?
Thank you in advance.

if you are sure you have uninstalled the software then the folders you can also delete
 
I am noticing however that some folders or programs are of autodesk but I do not know which version they refer to because not indicated and I think I will have an accumulation of these folders, I hope they do not give problems and I hope not to delete things that are needed.
ideal would start from a clean install of the pc but I don't have time to do it.
 
I usually uninstall the current version. then I look on the hard drive autodesk, I take a look at what's inside (who knows there is a template or some customization) and then I delete or put aside. done this within the windows log, I look for autodesk and I gate everything that appears. then install new version.
 
I hold up to three previous versions, I have never noticed problems or various messing up... .

Unfortunately at the time I let install a static 200 gb disk because proposed as faster. space said you didn't need to save on the server.
I am noticing that with the operating system installed the space for the cad is almost insufficient.
I think that's not good.
 
That's it.
I removed the library of aspects of 2015 and lost some aspects.
I can somehow recover it from another pc with the unupdated installation. where are the apses saved? I can take the image file of the appearance and overwrite it.
if possible I save them also for future updates.
For example sheet-to-network now is simply black:frown:.

If you have another pc with the style library, you must save it on the new one and use the migration utility.

p.s. I know it seems obvious, but make a backup that if something doesn't go well you're really screwed. . .

you have backup pre-installation.
However, it is strange that they do not do an update procedure instead of renstalling, perhaps leaving the possibility to set the rescue in the previous versions. and also the uninstall tool could delete everything that refers to the relaise that you no longer want to hold.
 
I agree that the tools can be improved, but I allow myself to make a suggestion: rather than installing the libraries again and all the rest made a copy of the old and migrating ones to the new version, so you have an exact duplicate of your "old" working environment: in the application configuration you can point to your updated libraries. Moreover if all this is placed on the server (at the cost of some slowdown, but it depends on the speed of your network) free space on your hard drive and you can sync all the machines with inventor. the value of the process is obviously proportional to the number of customizations of the library you have done over time.. .

Good morning to all,

someone can tell me if for local licensing installations with nlm manager on the server it is necessary to update this tool, or if you can also use the vesion of last year. I am experiencing problems at the opening of the software and found written on a site that for autodesk 2017 it is necessary to update nlm to the latest version. on autodesk sites is not specified, I think this may be the problem.
Someone's already done this. Thank you in advance.
