ETAP requires conversion of libraries when connecting to an earlier version of the ETAP
libraries. You may need to convert an earlier version of ETAP libraries in order to Copy/Merge
libraries or simply to use your earlier version customized library.

Prior to library conversion, ETAP creates a backup of the library file and adds a file extension of
.LBK. This file is located in the same directory as your library file.

In order to open the backup library file, rename the .LBK file extension to .LIB. Then go to your
project and click on Library on the top toolbar, select Open and Browse to the renamed library
location and select it.
