Hi,

I would say it's only an issue if the tutorial stopped working after
the upgrade. Without knowing more details about your system it's tough
to say what might be going wrong. What is certain is that there were
many improvements made between AmberTools 14 and 15, and upgrading may
solve your problem. If it does not however please let us know.

Good luck,

-Dan
