Frequently asked questions ETS4!
ETS4 - Facts & Figures
4. Does ETS4 run also on Windows 7? Yes.
ETS4 can be installed on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 32/64 bit versions. ETS4 can be installed in parallel to an ETS3 (provided the operating system is able to run ETS 3).
3. I’ve already bought an ETS; are there upgrades to ETS4 available? Yes.
The price depends on which ETS version you want upgrade (ETS2/3). At any rate, the upgrade price is lower than that of new license.
2. Is it possible to test ETS4 for free when it becomes available?Yes.
You can download a DEMO version for free. The only limitation is the amount of devices you can use in a project (3). Also KNX bus access (going online) is possible.
1. Can use my projects from ETS2 and ETS3 also in ETS4?Yes.
ETS4 allows import of projects/ products from the first ETS2 version up to all ETS3 versions.
Thank you for your attention!
