No. When you download the upgrade file and run installation, you have option to install just WindLDR, or WindO/I-NV2 software by itself. But if you choose to install new system configuration software, WindCFG, then WindLDR and WindO/I-NV2 will also be installed on your PC.
Yes. If you are a current user of WindLDR or WindO/I-NV2, you are eligible for FREE upgrade to our new software suite, Automation Organizer, which included new WindLDR 6.32, WindO/I-NV2 4.24 and WindCFG 1.32.
WindCFG is a system layout configuration program that allows users to visually layout their IDEC PLCs and OI touchscreen controls system. It also allows WindLDR and WindO/I-NV2 to share the same tag names. WindCFG is beneficial to users currently used both IDEC PLCs and OI touchscreen. If you choose to start off with WindCFG then consequent WindLDR and WindO/I-NV2 programs need to be initiated from WindCFG. The biggest benefits of using WindCFG are (1) tag names sharing between IDEC PLCs and OI touchscreen (2) visually layout your control systems and (3) generate and document your bill of materials for your IDEC PLC and OI systems.

If you create and compile your ladder program in the new WindLDR upgrade, then it can not be opened in previous version of WindLDR. If you currently have WindO/I-NV2 version 3.42 (or below) on your PLC, install this upgrade WILL over-write existing WindO/I-NV2 software.

If you only use the Micro3, Micro3C, FA2J or FA3S PLCs then upgrading to Automation Organizer suite will not have any benefits since the new WindLDR version 6.31 included in Automation Organizer suites does NOT support these old PLCs.
