I installed a new version of Active-HDL and my design flow manager settings are removed? How do I restore them back?

Starting with Active-HDL 9.2SP1, we have implemented a backup mechanism in the incremental installer of Active-HDL that creates a copy of the existing design flow settings file. This back up file can be restored in order to retain your design flow manager settings.

Note: Each new release or service pack updates support to vendor tools in design flow manager. Reusing design flow manager settings from a previous version of Active-HDL will result in out-of-date vendor tool support.

Scenario 1: If you are installing Active-HDL 9.3 SP1 incremental build on top of Active-HDL 9.3

During the installation, back up of the design flow manger settings file will be created.
After installation, exit Active-HDL environment and go to your Active-HDL installation directory at <install_dir>\flows\Multivendor. You will notice following files.
In order to restore your previous design flow manager settings – rename New Settings file to something else. For example, flowtools.new. (Click ok to message that pops up during renaming)
Rename the backup copy file, which in this case is flowtools.93 to flowtools.dat. (Click ok to message that pops up during renaming)
After renaming both the file, it should look like below.
Open Active-HDL and verify that your previous design flow manger settings have been restored.

Scenario 2: If you are installing new version of Active-HDL and would like to bring your design flow manager settings form previous version to new version

Go to installation directory of your new Active-HDL version. For example, you just installed Active-HDL 9.3, then you will need to go to <install_dir>\Aldec\Active-HDL 9.3\flows\Multivendor
Rename flowtools.dat file to something else. For example, flowtools.new. (Click ok to message that pops up during renaming)
Now go to the previous installation of Active-HDL. For example, you were using Active-HDL 9.2, then you will need to go to <install_dir>\Aldec\Active-HDL 9.3\flows\Multivendor
Copy flowtools.dat file from this location and paste it to your new Active-HDL installation directory at <install_dir>\Aldec\Active-HDL 9.3\flows\Multivendor
Open Active-HDL and verify that your previous design flow manger settings have been restored.
