Steve,
Uprev creates a simulated environment of Allegro software so that
it can open the databases and save them as new data.
Cadence can only create a simulated env if the env existed when
the board did. Old Sun version 5, 6,8 10 databases can uprev on
sun platforms because we've been able to compile the "dbfix" for
each of those older versions as we created new versions. Windows
shipped as version 12 and so we have been able to work with data
that old, but if you had version 8 data saved on Sun, you would
need a sun system to reopen and uprev it. It's probably a good
idea for customers who switch from Sun hardware to do an update
of the archived data before abandoning that platform.
So, in summary, we can not create that utility on Windows or Linux.
