How to install Waypoint software

Administrator privileges are required to successfully install all components of Waypoint software.

It is recommended that a license be returned prior to any significant computer maintenance or changes (i.e. upgrading of the operating system, motherboard replacement, etc.).

  1. If you have a previous version of Waypoint software installed, we do not recommend uninstalling it prior to installing a new version. This is because any user created content such as favourites, processing profiles, customized grids or conversions etc. can be copied over to the new version. This is only possible if the new version is installed prior to uninstalling the old version.

    Each major version of Waypoint software will install to a separate default installation directory and will thus not overwrite or remove content from a previous major version.

    All installation files are provided on a password protected website. Contact support.novatel@hexagon.com with your software activation ID for login instructions if required.

  2. Launch the setup and follow the on-screen instructions.

  3. If you are upgrading from a previous major version, such as 9.00, you will need to upgrade your license.

    For upgrade instructions, see Activate Your License.

  4. See Copy User Files for instructions on how to copy user created content from previous major versions.
