Upgrade Standalone Edition

This page provides download files for upgrading an existing installation of Beam 2D Standalone Edition Version 3.0 (all builds) or version 3.1 (build 8 and earlier)  to version 3.1 (latest build). To perform the upgrade, download the upgrade files and install Beam 2D on the computer that has a licensed copy of Beam 2D. The setup program will locate the existing installation and upgrade it to the current version. This process will not affect the license.

For your convenience, there are three separate download procedures. Click one of the links below to start the download:

  1. Self-extracting executable file (4.7 MB)
    This is the fastest and most convenient method. It is recommended for installing Beam 2D on the computer that was used for downloading or a computer connected to the download computer through a network. This method may also be used to install Beam 2D on any other computer if there are means to transfer a file of this size to that computer such as a super-floppy, CD-RW or direct cable connection.
     
  2. ZIP file (4.7 MB)
    As above but the file is in ZIP format. You will need to extract setup files before installation using an extraction utility such as WinZip. This option is provided for systems that cannot download EXE files.
     
  3. Set of files sized to fit floppy disks
    This download will create a floppy disk setup so that Beam 2D can be installed on systems that are not connected to the computer that was used for downloading and there is no other way to transfer setup files to the target system.

If you encounter difficulties getting started with Beam 2D please call (905) 569-0055 or email beam@orandsystems.com
