Hello RussC32,

The short answer is:

Note: It is usually a good plan to know the location of your database(s) prior to uninstall the 2012.

Backup your companies, Uninstall 2012, Download and Install 2014.1, Convert your database(s), Backup, Uninstall 2014.1, install 2016.1, and Convert your database(s).

The slightly longer version:

From 2012 to 2014.1: The Default installation paths has changed and you will want to redirect the installation back to the existing SageFAS folder. (Not recommended)

The recommended path is to allow the install to go the new default location, Program Files\Sage Fixed Assets folder, and add the database(s) (below) to the new installation or create a new database and restore from the Backups taken from prior to the Uninstall of 2012. This path has the added benefit of not need to repeat the redirect of the installation for the 2016.1, since 2016.1 uses the default install path.

Adding a database:

1.  Go to: File, Database List Manager.
2. Click Find, Browse to where the database(s) is located, click OK, click Search.
3. Once found, highlight the database, click on Add. The database will disappear from the list of found databases.
4. Cancel out of the Find dialog once done, close the Database List Manager
