Migrate Ranorex v1.5 C# code to v2.3 : General Questions

[Sedes]

Hi there,

I've recently been given an project written before my time at my company. It appears as though it's been built in C# on Ranorex 1.5. I have managed ensure things work using the 1.5 Pro trial. However, now we're about ready to purchase some licenses and get things moving along on this project again but it seems as though there have been significant changes to the Ranorex libraries for 2.3 and all the deprecated functions are removed. Is there an easy (/any) way to migrate this legacy code to work with the new version without a complete re-write?

Thank you.

Is there an easy (/any) way to migrate this legacy code to work with the new version without a complete re-write?

No, sorry, there is no automatic way to migrate 1.X Ranorex code to Ranorex version 2.X. For Ranorex 2.X we had to redesign the complete Ranorex framework to be able to cope with many different technologies; the Ranorex 1.X design was not flexible enough. Ranorex 2.X is therefore rather a new product than just a new version.

You can, however, install Ranorex 1.X and 2.X side-by-side, keeping your legacy code use Ranorex 1.X and start new automation projects with Ranorex 2.X. When you purchase Ranorex 2.X licenses, please get in contact with sales_at_ranorex.com and you will get 1.X licenses as well!
