Important Notes - Please Read
- AQT v9 is designed to coexist with AQT v8. However in order to run both AQT v8 and AQT v9 on your machine, you must be running AQT 8.2.7 or a more recent release. If you try to run an earlier release of AQT v8, some functions may fail.
- AQT v9 uses the Microsoft .Net Framework v2. If you are running Microsoft XP SP2, Microsoft Vista or Microsoft Windows 7, this should already be on your machine. If not, you will need to download and install this. Click here for the .Net Framework install file.
- AQT v9 is more resource intensive than AQT v8, in particular it has greater memory requirements. It is recommended that you run AQT on a machine with at least 512 MB RAM.
- AQT v9 is a significant redevelopment of AQT. Some functions are still under development or may have bugs. We will post AQT v9 updates as they become available.
- in order to run AQT v9 you will need to obtain a trial key from us. Please email us at beta@cardett.co.nz for your key. The trial key is delivered as a trial Version 9 Upgrade license. If you currently have a Version 8 Upgrade license, this will be overwritten by the Version 9 Upgrade license. Once you have finished the trial, you will need to either purchase a Version 9 Upgrade license or reenter your Version 8 Upgrade license.
- please also read the Installation Notes below.
Under development
Some features have not been completed, and there are outstanding bugs. In particular:
- AQT sometimes crashes on termination after being signed onto Oracle with the Oracle ODBC Driver. This is similar to a problem that occurred with AQT v8. We have not been able to resolve this yet
- changes to the Help system have not been completed
Please check this page for regular updates to the Beta.

Please email us at beta@cardett.co.nz with constructive feedback about this beta release:

Installation Notes
- If you are running a release of AQT prior to AQT v8.2.7, you should install the latest release of AQT v8 before installing AQT v9.
- To install AQT v9, run the aqtv901_setup.exe install file.
- The AQT v9 install will not remove AQT v8. After installing AQT v9 you will be able to run both AQT v8 and AQT v9.
- It is recommended that you install AQT v9 into a different directory than AQT v8. This will allow the two versions of AQT to run more independently, plus you will be able to deinstall AQT v9 without impacting AQT v8.
- If you uninstall AQT v9, and it was installed into the same directory as AQT v8, then it will remove some of the AQT v8 files. This can be corrected by reinstalling AQT v8. Do this by rerunning the AQT v8 install and selecting the Repair option.
Conditions for Use of AQT v9 Beta
You must agree to the following conditions before installing the Beta of AQT v9:
