How to work with multiple WebRatio copies

WebRatio gives you the chance to work with multiples copies of the product. This means that you can install on the same workstation both WebRatio 5.0 and WebRatio 5.1 version. Working with multiple copies can be very useful especially when you have to maintain different projects on an older version but you want to develop the new projects on the most recent one.

Using multiple copies means also considering the following issues:


  • Do not use the same workspace among different WebRatio versions. In particular, the workspace used for the WebRatio 5.1 has not to be used in the 5.0 installation, because the Web Project information are different and maybe the older version is not able to open the Web Project anymore. The best solution is to have one workspace for each installation.
  • You can use different workspaces for the same WebRatio version. Every time you create a new workspace and open it for the first time, WebRatio asks you to activate the product. This procedure can be done using the same username and serial provided for the other workspace. There's no problem since the workstation on which the workspace is placed is the same of the other one. To switch between workspaces, use the File -> Switch Workspace command. The change implies a restart of the product.
  • You can copy projects from one workspace to another one. To do this, choose the File -> Import -> Existing Projects into Workspace. In the opening dialog, choose the workspace containing the projects you want to import, then choose the projects. Note that you have to enable the Copy projects into workspace option in order to create a copy of the original project in the current workspace. You can see an example in the figure.
