Technical documents linked to parts catalogs can now be centralized in one single directory for all catalogs or one different directory for each catalog.

Upgrade of commercial or dealer licenses: it is required to re-enter the company and user names as well as the license number at the end of the installation of TraceParts v2.3.5 SP3. Upgrade from releases 2.0.x and 2.1.x: new activation codes required for all the nodelocked licenses, including those protected by a EUTRON hardware lock (dongle). Upgrade from releases 2.3.x: no new activation code required. The module which allows to build a link between the TraceParts database and an external source of data (new feature available since TraceParts version 2.3.2) now requires a specific licensing. It is anyway available during the trial period. For information, this feature allows the association of custom data of PDM type (internal references, prices, status, …) to the standard data provided by the manufacturer's catalog. An animated demo of this new feature is available under the AVI format on the CD (file external_data.avi).
