Getting started
IMPAX 5.3 and earlier versions are quite different from IMPAX 6.0 and later versions. WEB1000
and IMPAX 6.5.3 also have a number of differences. These are important to understand.
Various software packages must be installed before IMPAX can be upgraded. Other documentation
is available to provide details.
About this IMPAX Preparing to Upgrade Guide
(Topic number: 6608)
This manual is intended for service and administrative personnel who are preparing to upgrade an
IMPAX AS300 (Windows) cluster meeting the following criteria to IMPAX 6.5.3:
Cluster currently usingCriteria
4.5, 5.2.5, 5.3.1, or 5.3.2IMPAX version

Note:
A site running IMPAX 4.5 can migrate its user data—passwords, IDs, and most preferences—to
IMPAX 6.5.3. However, database data cannot be upgraded directly from IMPAX 4.5 to IMPAX
6.5.3. The IMPAX 4.5 database data and schema must first be upgraded to IMPAX 5.2.5,
then to IMPAX 6.5.3. (This can be done during one upgrade, rather than in two separate
upgrades.)
