Using the Release Switcher

The Release Switcher, a program that is available in all VX releases, enables you to manage software releases installed on the same Windows computer. You can switch between pre-VX and VX releases, register and unregister releases, refresh a release registration, or set a default release when you have side-by-side compatible releases.

The Release Switcher location differs by operating system:

Operating System	Release Switcher Location
Windows 7	Choose Start > All Programs > Mentor EBS Admin Utilities > MGC EBS Release Switcher.
Windows 8.1 or newer	From the Start menu, locate Mentor EBS Admin Utilities and choose MGC EBS Release Switcher.

Note:

All installed releases should be available from the dropdown lists in the Release Switcher. If not, select the release by browsing to its location in the flow version root folder. For example, C:\MentorGraphics\PADSVX.2.6.
