After backing up the database you will run the Genesis Install File.
On the first page it will have you accept the End User License Agreement and select the install location (Default is: C:\Program Files (x86)\ESHA Research\GenesisSQL) and then click next.
After entering your customer number and serial key (it should self populate if doing an upgrade from a previous version, but it's always good practice to verify this accurate.) if your serial key includes DataLink you will have the option to "Install DataLink with Genesis R&D" you will want to select this option and click Next.
In order to use DataLink, you will have to have a API license Key from TraceGains and will enter it during installation or upgrade. You will also need to provide the Machine Key to ESHA support to receive your Genesis API Key.
