Upgrading PowerDesigner to 64-bit requires that you upgrade your ODBC and other connections to the repository and other databases from 32-bit to 64-bit as well. If you install the 64-bit PowerDesigner client on a machine where the 32-bit client is already installed, the setup will uninstall the 32-bit client. If the upgrade is performed by an administrator who is not the PowerDesigner user, the user may need to manually modify PowerDesigner resource file paths (to files such as DBMS and language definition files, user profiles and model extensions). Other defaults and preferences will be correctly copied to the new installation.
