Advice on Upgrading to Time Matters 15.1

Before Upgrading from Time Matters 14 or earlier

  • If you are using Billing Matters timekeeping, A/R and invoicing, you'll be fine. If you are using the Accounting features of Billing Matters (formerly know as Billing Matters Plus), you will lose access to the accounting features. See the instructions.
  • Back up your Time Matters database
    Copy the backup file to a different drive for safekeeping. You cannot undo the upgrade without a backup.
  • Check you computer's RAM and processor numbers
    - We recommend 4 GB or more RAM and 2.2 GHz or higher processor.
    - Open Windows Explorer (the yellow folder icon or WinKey + E).
    - Right-click on Computer or This PC.
    - Click on Properties. Check the Installed Memory (RAM) and Processor numbers
  • Check to see if Time Matters 10 is still installed. If it is, watch out! Read the upgrade instructions carefully.
