If you’ve invested a lot of time into customizing worksheets in Parashara’s Light 7, and want to avoid repeating that work, you can transfer these worksheets directly into PL 9.
It can be done at any time, either at first install or at a later date.
Requirements: Parashara’s Light 7 must be installed in one of the following locations: C:/Geovision/PL7
D:/Geovision/PL7
