1.6.2 Upgrading components
Install the components of v 3 over the v 2.0 or v 1.0 components.
Components of v 3 cannot communicate with v 2.0 and v 1.0 components since they use
cryptographic communication protocol that was not supported by the previous program
versions. Remove old Acronis Snap Deploy components, if the new components are installed
on other computers.
