Upgrade Information:
MotionWorks+ Software Policy allows free upgrades for one full year or more (11 to 24 months typical). If further upgrades are needed after the expiration time, a new copy of MW+ will need to be purchased. There are two ways to upgrade MotionWorks+:
1) Download the upgrade file from Yaskawa's Web site by searching for file #: eng.MCD.05.057 (MotionWorks Plus Upgrade File).
2) Place a no-charge purchase order with your distributor to have an Upgrade CD shipped to you (part number CP717PLUSUG). A valid serial number for your current version of MW+ must be presented with the order.
To use the upgrade file, it is important to make sure that an officially registered version of MotionWorks+ program has been installed in your PC first. This serial number is maintained in the PC registry and is referenced when upgrading the software. To install an upgrade version, it is necessary to first uninstall MotionWorks+ and Cimscope, Reboot the PC, and then run the upgrade installation.
