3: Installer steps.

The wizard will guide you through the installation process:
You will need your serial number to install the paid version.
The installer will ask you if you want to uninstall the old version first. In most cases I would skip this and just install over it.
Either way you do it your settings are supposed to be saved.
But you backed up your settings right? In rare cases you might need to uninstall first so the new files can be written to the drive.
Refer to the Download page for more detailed instructions on installing.

4: Find your settings.

*Note: Sometimes it may appear that settings are lost or changed when you start the updated Ol Monitor. This is because the new install may have changed the default settings location.

You can toggle back and forth between settings locations to find your old settings. On the main OlMonitor program (not inside the options menu), click Options-Reload with ...
Reloading with other settings location.
