The TimeMap client application is installed to the Microsoft® Windows® desktop of any TimeMap user.
TimeMap installs as an unregistered trial copy. There is a 30-day grace period to use TimeMap. Once the grace period expires, TimeMap will no longer function. The unregistered copy of TimeMap works identically to the registered version. If you are reinstalling over a registered version of TimeMap, you will not need to re-register.
TimeMap client installation overview:
| • | TimeMap must be installed and run on a local hard drive |
| • | TimeMap cannot be run from a network server |
| • | CaseMap data files can be stored in a file on a network drive |
| • | Previous version cases must be converted to open in the current TimeMap version |
|
Cases need to be converted to the current version format. Once a timeline is converted, users with previous TimeMap versions cannot open it. We recommend you upgrade all TimeMap users working on the same timeline at the same time. For details, see Converting timelines.

You can install the latest TimeMap version to a desktop that already has previous versions of TimeMap installed. It will not remove the prior version.
