254 Install PC - Upgrade DECT Messenger
This involves making a backup of data you do not want to lose, uninstalling
the components you installed previously as part of your current version of
DECT Messenger, and installing the new components from the CD-ROM
of release 4.0. Finally you must restore the data you saved in the
beginning.
Note: If you can afford the down time, consider a "scratch" install. For
example, if you want to take the opportunity to change from an old
operating system, such as Windows 2000 Professional or Windows
2000 Server, to a more recent system, such as Windows XP or Windows
2003 Server, a scratch install is your best option. A scratch install is also
your best option if you are replacing the physical hardware, for example,
if you think the expected life time of the hardware is reached or if future
maintenance of the hardware is an issue.
Upgrading to release 4.0
To determine your current release, verify the level of the eKERNEL
module, where major/minor/medication level is shown.
