I did not notice this and tried to install and it refused as there was already a version installed.

Took a while to realise what was going on.

It seems the old has to be first removed.

Hello,

Thank you for your swift reply!

Is it possible that you might have requested a trial of the Enterprise edition of RDM in the past and that it was still installed on your workstation?

Best regards,

Indeed. Spot on.

Uninstalled it and it then worked very smoothly. The Free version was still running so it closed that.

The old icon pinned to the taskbar still started up the new version and then warned it was not functional and it was removed. Very clever.

Thank you - all working fine.
