Please read this article to see how you can upgrade, and what are the limits for downloading the update for free.

Vik Rent Items v1.6 is now available! By almost completing all the feature requests collected from our clients, and by adjusting the entire framework of the component, we can say this was one of the biggest releases ever made for this extension.

How to update to the latest version?

First of all, download the Update Package from the Free Updates section of the site. The policy for the updates of this extension was unified to the others: the Update Package can be downloaded for free only if you have purchased a copy of Vik Rent Items, or a copy of the previous Updates, after April 2018. This means that at today, October 2018, your Support License is still active. Those who have purchased the extension or an update before April 2018, will be asked to purchase the paid version of the update (Update Package) for €29. This will give you access to free updates for another update cycle, and it will renew your Support License for another 6 months.

Upgrade Instructions

Please make sure to have downloaded the Update Package, and you will find all the instructions inside the archive. Updating to the latest version without losing any data may require a different procedure depending on the version of Vik Rent Items that you are currently using.

Those who are using the v1.5, which is the very previous version, will be able to install the update either through the Joomla native Update Sites functions, or by using our plugin Vik Updater.

A different procedure is needed for those who are on the version 1.4 or older. You will find all the details inside the README instruction file of the Update Package, as well as on the previous update instructions.

Those who are using an older version of Vik Rent Items than the 1.4, will have to upgrade first to the version 1.4, and then follow the other instructions to upgrade to the latest version 1.6.

All the update instructions can be found inside the Update Package, so make sure to download it from the Free Updates section, or to purchase it from the Extensions Updates page.



Enjoy your new Vik Rent Items!
