End of Support for DB Format (*.iproj) and Migration Procedure
Thank you for using Next Design on a regular basis.
With the upcoming major version update in Next Design V5, support for the DB format used for project data storage will be discontinued. Starting from V5, only the JSON format (.nproj) will be supported.
Consequently, customers currently using the DB format will need to perform the migration process before applying the version upgrade in order to continue using their projects in V5.
(You may continue using V4 even after V5 is released. The migration process can be performed at your convenience.)
The migration procedure is outlined below.
Migration Procedure
The step-by-step migration procedure is detailed on the following page, where you can also watch the recording of the briefing session.

The above tool is treated as an extension under the Next Design End User License Agreement. For details, please check the Next Design End User License Agreement.
