All Evanced customers that are current on their maintenance or subscription payments are eligible for this upgrade at no additional charge. The upgrades can be done at any time and require almost no downtime (a few minutes in the worst case scenario). All of your data and programs will be preserved without problems (though we do suggest just in case you do wait until any live and open off season programs you might be running are complete before scheduling your upgrade). On February 20 the manual will be ready for the newest version of Summer Reader and can be found at: http://www.evancedsolutions.com/manuals.asp

To schedule your upgrade you need to do only 1 of the following 3 things:
1 - Email Evanced Support ( support@evancedsolutions.com) that you would like to be upgraded as soon as possible and at anytime.
2 - Email Support that you want to be upgraded as soon as possible but during a certain time of day window (please specify e.g. "Before 9AM EDT").
3 - Email Support that you would like to be upgraded on a certain date during a certain time window (again please specify Date & Time Window). For this option you must give us at least a 5 day cushion to be sure we can accommodate that specific date and time.

Please note that upgrades are performed between Monday through Friday 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM EDT.

If you are part of the Statewide licenses in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Arizona, or New Jersey your upgrade is being coordinated through your state library system and you do not need to contact us to be upgraded.

We’re happy to hear your feedback, suggestions for Summer Reader changes for 2011 and to take questions you may have. Please contact us at support@evancedsolutions.com or 888-519-5770. You can also talk with other members of the Evanced Community at http://forum.evanced.info/.
