Hello David,

To be able to do modifications in some machines that we have, I did two programs for two machines with MP270 panel. I am ready to upgrade, just because the machines are working ok and I want no problems. Could you inform me 
if the MP270 panel has a license for runtime that I must move first?    
If I have problems with the new configuration, can I go back with the complete backup? (Img file and old O.S)?
The old configuration software is Protool 6.0. I have WinCCFlex 2007 as new version.

Thank you very much!!
