Note:

Before you install a new version on the customer system, you have to test all customizations, reports and main processes with the new Beas version with a copy of customer database  together with the new SAP Version, which you need to install on a parallel test machine.

 

If you only want to update Beas, no test machine is necessary.

2.Rename the c:\program folders\beas software\beas folder

to c:\program folders\beas software\backup folder.

to the c:\program folders\beas software\newversion folder

and  the c:\program folders\beas software\backup back to

c:\program folders\beas software\beas

Now you have 2 installations:
