AlphaCom OPC Server 5.1.3.x (2010-09-17)
Important Note about Upgrading from version 5.0.x.x.
Due to bug "BZ 406 OPC Server Windows 7 Compatible", and good programming practices, the location of the OPCServer configuration file needed to be moved from Program Data Folder to Application Data Folder.
It is not implemented any automatic transfer of the configuration file, so after an upgrade either the old config files needs to copied manually to its new location, or the configuration needs to be re-done with the new AlphaComOPCConfigurator tool (v 2.1.3.0).
Note! After a manual copy the configuration should be verified in the new AlphaComOPCConfigurator tool.
