2 Introduction This installation guide explains how to install Trimble NES onto a local machine as a standalone installation, for both existing and new NES customers. This method allows users to install Trimble NES onto one PC. For a standalone installation, the only information it is possible to share is the licence key details which can be saved in a central network location if required. Existing customers please note: this release of Trimble NES is installed as a new product, alongside your existing NES version. During the installation procedure you will have the option of migrating your data (including your company file, user specifications and user master specifications), via the Data Migration Utility, from your existing NES installation to the new version. This utility can be launched automatically at the end of the installation (see pages 9 and 11), or later from the Trimble NES application folder. October 2016 Trimble NES - Standalone Page 2

11 Data Migration Utility The Trimble NES Data Migration Utility will migrate data from an existing installation of NES into the new version of Trimble NES. The following data is migrated from previous versions: Company File User Dictionary User Master Specifications User Specifications Please note: following migration, the previous NES version will continue to function and your company file and any user master specifications will still be available to this version. Any user specifications which are migrated as part of this process however are moved and will only be available in the new Trimble NES application. The utility can be launched by either selecting the option at the end of the installation wizard, or by launching the NESMigrateDataUtil.exe application which is installed to your Trimble NES application folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\trimble\nes\nesmigratedatautil.exe). Instructions: 1. Specify the location of your previous NES version s configuration file (Spex.config). This is usually located in the folder that your previous NES version was installed to (e.g. C:\AMTECH Group\NES\3.0\Spex.config). Once the path is selected correctly the Migrate button will become enabled. 2. Choose whether to overwrite existing files (which is selected by default) or not. In most circumstances, especially when this is run immediately following installation, this can be left as ticked. This would need to be unticked if you have a user specification already created in the new Trimble NES version with the same name as a specification which exists in the old version. In this case, unticking this option will prevent the migration from overwriting the new specification with the one from the previous software version. Please note: to ensure full migration of all data this can be left ticked. 3. Click Migrate to begin migration. When complete, close the window and Trimble NES will then open when selected.
