Will you be adding a script to update the port declaration at the set-up time for models which are in v4.x

For installing v5.02 from v5 should I uninstall and online reg the license again?

No - it automatically uninstalls the previous version for you. The note text file included in the download explains:

When installing Flexsim 5.x, any previous 5.x installations will be
automatically uninstalled before the new installation proceeds. Only Flexsim
program files are affected. This means that any models, libraries, or other
personal files located in Flexsim 5 directories will be unaffected by the
uninstall-reinstall process.

Your license is also unaffected and remains in place.

Hi,

I can also confirm the problem with the elevator.
