Software Upgrades
  UA is undergoing some rapid changes and seemingly unrelated features are sometimes broken or behave differently than expected. Be sure to always make a backup copy your UA directory (normally copy c:\ua to c:\uaold). so that you can back out of unpleasant changes.
   It is generally not possible to overwrite a new version with an old version.  Always install these on top of your old versions, do not uninstall your old version. 
  After upgrading, a successful data download is necessary to gain total access to market history.
   Upgrades are cumulative, so the latest includes all fixes which were in previous upgrades.

A $20.00 charge for replacement upgrade discs may apply

Note:
   Running UA loads certain DLL files into your computer's memory, which may be replaced in the newer version. To assure that outdated DLL files do not interfere with UA, please shut down and restart your computer before installing an upgrade, and again before running the upgraded program.
 


 
 
*** Important Uninstall Notice ***
   UA's uninstall function should only be used if UA is stored in it's own subdirectory (probably C:\UA).  Do not use uninstall if the software was installed in the root directory on any of your drives (ex. c:\ or d:\).   Always back up your hard drive before uninstalling any software products from your computer.
