Rebranding from OpenBuildings  Designer CONNECT Edition to OpenBuildings  Designer 2023

Since brand is an integral part of the application identity, rebranding OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition to OpenBuildings Designer 2023 results in several changes to the default installation directories, registry entries, executables and many other aspect of the application. References to 'CONNECT Edition' were replaced with '2023' which refers to current year. The OpenBuildings 2023 rebranding does not impact or change the Building Information Modeling feature set available in the product, and is both the next update release and successor to OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition Update 10.1. OpenBuildings Designer CE and OpenBuildings Designer 2023 can coexist on the same computer, please refer installer update, side-by-side installation wiki.
