Just a quick note to announce the release of TATEMS 4.6.30.017

Watch the video below to see what’s in TATEMS version 4.6.30.010 Released May-3-2022. The version on this page is 4.6.30.017 Released Dec 5, 2022.

If you are running a version released before version 4.6.30.000, this 4.6.30.017 update will need a new registration number (please make sure you are eligible) and will also backup and update your backend database. 

Once you update your computer then all other users will be required to update as well.  

If you are already running a licensed and registered copy of TATEMS then this release will require you to acquire a new registration number.

This is to prevent any unauthorized access to the new releases after the purchased term of version updates and support has expired.

To minimize any inconvenience to you, this release will give you 21 days to acquire the new registration number.

If you are in your trial period then the trial period will continue with the same number of days you had remaining before the update.

AFTER UPDATE…You will need to submit a ticket with your computer name,  serial number(s) along with the version number (from the TATEMS registration screen) along with your company information or purchase information here so that we can verify eligibility and email the new registration number(s) back to you.

Remember, you don’t need to apply all previous updates in order to update TATEMS Fleet Maintenance Software.

This update will only work with TATEMS Version 3.1.00 or later already installed.

Always make sure you make a backup copy of your data before updating.

The data file to backup is called

TATEMS2005be.mdb and is normally located in the:

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005

Folder. (It might also be on a network drive if you are networked. You can see the data file you are accessing before you update by clicking on Tools->Networking)

You can just right click on the file and choose copy and then paste it back into the same folder or another folder to create a backup copy.

There is also a backup feature in TATEMS 2005 and TATEMS 20/20 if you go to File->Backup and Compact Data

Make sure TATEMS is closed and then after downloading the file you can double-click it to unzip the files:

into:

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005

If you are UPDATING TATEMS on a NETWORK you will need to re-link to the data file after the update by going to

“Tools->Networking” from within TATEMS

If you go to Tools ->Networking before updating you will be able to see where the data file is located. Write down the path and then use that information after the update to re-link to the data file.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!  You should always update TATEMS on every workstation on your network, one after another, not at the exact same time… and don’t allow any users to use an old version after an update has been done on any workstation on the network. It will cause data to not update or display properly!!
