You should also remove the System Administration structure files. You can use a delete command similar to the example below to remove your System Administration structure files. Be sure to edit the command to reference the directory where APPX is installed on your system if APPX is not installed in "C:\Appx".

DEL C:\Appx\data\0SA\Struct\*

Double click the C:\Appx\AppxDesktopClient.exe file to start the Appx Desktop Client. Click on the 'Local' tab, enter the location of the APPX engine (the appx.exe file) and click the connect button.

Starting with APPX 5.0.0, all License Keys include an Effective Date. You must install an updated License Key before you will be able to run APPX 5.0.0. Note that in Release 5 and higher you can copy your registration to the clipboard, and APPX will detect it when you choose "Typical Import" from the "Import Menu" below.

Configure the new APPX Login Manager

APPX 5 includes the new APPX Login Manager service. This service replaces the Connection Manager (AppxdSvc) which was included with APPX releases prior to APPX 5.0.0. The old Connection Manager will not work with APPX 5 and higher, and should not be used. You should remove the services installed by appxdsvc using the '-remove' keyword:

- Run 'Load Initial Audit History' for each of your applications. This is optional, as APPX will automatically build the history as you make changes to your application. For example, the first time you go into INPUTs, APPX will see that the audit history is missing and it will create it as it reads the input process records. Regardless of whether you run this, APPX will start keeping a detailed audit history of changes in applications from this point on. However, you should decide now whether to run this step now or not. If audit information already exists in the audit file when you run this step, it will duplicate the data
- Run 'Sync Design Elements' for each of your applications.

If you are using Custom Fonts in your applications (i.e., bar codes, etc) and you have not already updated your Resources for the new method, follow these steps, otherwise they will not print.
