The differences between real and trial versions are:
- PHP files are encoded in the trial version
- There are only 5 default CS-Cart skins in the trial version.
NOTE: They do not have any difference in databases.
To upgrade the trial version to the full one:
- Find out what CS-Cart version you use
- Download the distribution package of the same CS-Cart version on the File area page of the Customer Help Desk.
- Unpack the distribution package
- Copy all its files to the directory where the trial version of CS-Cart is installed overwriting all PHP files except the config.php file located in the root directory of your CS-Cart installation (it is not encoded, but it contains information about database and hosting servers).
- Copy missing skin directories and files to the var/skins_repository directory.
NOTE: You should not execute the install.php script (that may overwrite your existing MySQL database). So your existing MySQL database will remain unchanged.
