 ===== Download ENVI-met V4 =====
-Below you will find the recent ENVI-met V4 release. From now on, there will be a Winter Release (around end of October to Mid November) and a Summer Release (around end of April) each year. The Winter Release usually brings new features to the system while the Summer Release is mainly dedicated to small updates and bugfixes. Users of the LITE (Basic before) Version **must** update to the newest versions within one month.  In addition, there will be "Hot Updates" available if required to those who can't wait for the next official release.

 == License Conditions ==
-The license conditions depend on the version of ENVI-met you use. You need to agree to the exact and actual license conditions when installing ENVI-met. A general overview can be seen [[http://envi-met.info/public/files/docs/Lic2019_textonly.pdf| here: License Conditions]]

 == System Requirements ==
-WINDOWS 7, 8/8.1 or 10 64Bit, ENVI-met can be installed on 32 Bit Systems but large models (above 200x200) probably will not work due to memory shortage, 3 GB Memory and 1 CPU core for each active simulation, a lot of disk space (expect 5 GB for one 24-hrs Simulation). ENVI-met might run in a virtualized environment, but calculate slower and will need non-standard settings.
+WINDOWS 7, 8/8.1 or 10 64Bit System. From Version 4.4.4,  ENVI-met does not support 32 Bit Systems any more. ENVI-met might run in a virtualized environment, but calculate slower and will need non-standard settings.

 === Installation remarks ===
-With the Summer 19 release, a new license key system is introduced. Licensed users can still download and continue to use the Winter1819 version and migrate to V4.4.3 at a later time. You can also install the new version parallel to old one if you use different folder.
+== Upgrading from an older version ==
+You may upgrade an existing ENVI-met by installing the new version in the same folder as the old one. If the old version already uses the new license keys, no re-registration is required. You can also install the new version in a different folder and use different versions in parallel. In this case, a re-registraton of your keys will be required. Also be aware of the double-clicks on files which will always open the last installed version of the associated app.
-Users without a license must download the recent Summer 19 release.
+== BIO-met 2.0 ==
+Users with **OLD BIO-met 1.x Keys** (Permanent License) need to start BIO-met 1.5 from the Windows Start Menue **NOT** the BIO-met 2.0 linked in the Headquarter. If you have bought a new license recently, you will get a NEW BIO-met key for Version 2.0 (the old one won't work) in the coming days. Please allow some time to manually process all the keys.
-**Important: You must have or get full read/write access to the install folder during install, otherwise the software won't work**.

-To use an existing license, this release requires a one-time automatic license key update for licensed users which needs administrative interaction. In a running project or class, it is recommended to allocate a free time slot for this process. **Further information about the license conversion can be found [[http://www.envi-met.net/hg2e/documents/2019_How_to_convert_Licenses.pdf|here]]**. If you are having trouble with the activation please contact license@envi-met.com
