Moving to Wing IDE 4.x from earlier versions should be easy. The first time you start Wing IDE 4.x, it will automatically convert your preferences from Wing IDE 2.x or 3.x and place them into your User Settings Directory.
Wing IDE 4.x can be installed and used side by side with older versions of Wing and operates completely independently.
- Licensing
Licenses for Wing IDE 1.x through 3.x must be upgraded before they can be activated for Wing IDE 4.x.
Wing IDE 2.x and 3.x licenses can be upgraded in our online store. Wing IDE 1.x licenses must be upgraded by contacting sales@wingware.com
- Converting Projects
Wing IDE 2.x and 3.x project files will be converted as they are opened and marked untitled so they can be saved under a new name. You should not overwrite your old project files as long as you still plan to use your earlier version of Wing IDE with them. Wing IDE 4.x project files cannot be read by earlier versions of Wing.
When version 2.x projects are converted, Wing will automatically replace your old project's file list with one or more auto-updating directory entries. You may wish to prune the project's contents after conversion, by adding and removing items, or editing their settings by right clicking on them and selecting Directory Properties.
