SHC version 2 Upgrade Information

Posted by Trevor on November 10, 2009

Are you an existing customer of the Simple Hydraulic Calculator version 1.x? The upgrade to version 2 is FREE! Yes, it's FREE!

Originally, this upgrade was planned to cost $129 U.S. But in the current economic climate contractors are hurting ... hurting bad. I know. I have a contracting business. Because of this, I've decided to do what I can to help you out - and making this major upgrade free is what I can do.

Version 2 does require a new registration code and you can expect those to arrive by email within the next few days. If you don't get one then email us and a new registration code will be sent.

Things to know about upgrading to Simple Hydraulic Calculator version 2

  1. SHC version 2 installs as a separate program - it will not overwrite your version 1.x installation or it's data files and you may keep version 1.x installed.
  2. SHC version 2 does not import customized pipe diameters or other settings from your version 1.x installation.
  3. SHC version 2 does a few things differently and has some new options. Take some time to familiarize yourself with these changes. The new Getting Started guide and new Reference Manual can help.
  4. No more version 1.x maintenance releases are planned. Since the upgrade to version 2 is free, I expect everyone to adopt version 2.
