Specify default edition

If you have multiple network licences with varying editions (e.g. Lite, Standard, Professional and Unlimited), you can specify which edition of Flood Modeller is opened by default using the configuration file. 

This enables better utilisation of your licence portfolio, for example, users who typically only view models should be opening the Lite edition by default instead of the Unlimited edition.

1. Completely close Flood Modeller
2. Locate your formsed.ini file. By default, this is located here: C:\Users[your_username]\AppData\Roaming\Flood Modeller
3. Open the formsed.ini file within a text editor
4. Navigate to the [Preferences] section
5. Add lines within this section as desired; these lines can be added anywhere within the [Preferences] block 
6. Save and close the formsed.ini file
