UPGRADING FROM 1.0 VERSIONS
Importing Preferences
While you could always just re-set your prefs in the new files, importing preferences allows you to not have to re-register your UPS account and licensing information into NRGship. This is especially worthwhile if you are already registered with UPS to receive your negotiated rates within NRGship.
Note: NRGship 2.0 offers UPS Address Validation. To use this feature you will have to re-register. For fully integrated solutions, this will not be critical. But if your users use the NRGship interface and would like to use the address validation service, it is worthwhile.
