Upgrading Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher

The upgrade process loads the latest version of IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher as a plug-in for a CAD application and removes the previous installations of Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher. The upgrade process removes the earlier version menu for Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher from the CAD application menu bar and adds the latest version for Maximo Real Estate and Facilities CAD Integrator/Publisher menu to the CAD application menu bar. The upgrade process also adds a desktop shortcut that you use to access your CAD application.

  • The workstations to upgrade must have a supported version of CAD software installed.
  • The workstations to upgrade must have version 13.5 or a previous installation of version 14.0 installed.
