Anyone know how to work LiteWare and connect to a standard CCU?

[signal15]

I just moved into a house with an old LiteTouch system installed in 1994.  Many of the buttons that were frequently pressed no longer work, so I want to eliminate some of the least used scene buttons and reassign them to the things that I need.  Currently there's no way to turn on or off some of the lights.
 
I have a copy of LiteWare and I just got it installed.  I'm assuming I need to launch the control panel and connect to the CCU.  I haven't tried this yet, because I don't want it to whack the settings that are currently in there in case something goes wrong.  
 
Has anyone used this software before for programming?  Can you type up a quick list of steps to get me started?
 
Eventually I will probably rip this out and replace with with Centralite Elegance XL, but that won't happen anytime soon so I need to get this fixed.  WAF is very low right now.

Does anyone here work for a shop that used to sell this stuff?  Maybe there's some documentation still laying around.

I have some info for the system you have, they are easy to use and program. An easy upgrade would be to a Savant controller and keep all of the panels and get new keypads. If you are still looking let me know what you need.

Bringing this one back from the dead...  
 
You cannot apparently use the messaging system because you don't have enough posts.
 
You messaged me over a year ago here about LiteTouch/LiteWare.  I would like to upgrade, but depending on the cost, I might not be able to do that right now.  So, 2 things:
 
1. Ballpark, what does a new controller cost?
2. When I try to use LiteWare to download the programming from my existing Standard CCU, it says "Offsets are not consistent, do you want to continue?"  If I say yes, it just fails.
 
My programming cable is straight through on pins 2, 3 and 5; and then pins 7 and 8 are crossed.  Any ideas?  
 
Anyone else familiar with LiteWare/LiteTouch?

Can you get and set the clock?  If you can, then your cable works.
 
A new Savant controller should be around $3k, but you should be able to find controllers on ebay for around $800.  Unfortunately, those may have their own set of problems.
 
I heard a rumor that Savant has sold Liteware to Lutron.  What Lutron does with it is anyone's guess.
