Puzzled by bitness
Posted: 08 Jan 2026 05:06
I have owned a lifetime licence for XYPlorer for many years. I started to update the software today and saw that it was about to update the 32-bit version, which was a complete surprise to me - I would have sworn it was 64-bit. I checked "About", and saw it was indeed 27.20.0600 (32-bit). I have no idea why it's not 64-bit, but I downloaded the 64-bit zipfile, extracted the installer EXE, and started the update process. The first dialog stated it was a 30-day free trial version.
I have always updated from within the software menu, and it always seamlessly handles the proper licencing. So I aborted the update process.
Will running the 64-bit installer retain my licence, and will it retain all my customized settings?
