Upgrading from Dell OpenManage Software Versions 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x–4.2
Upgrades from Dell OpenManage software versions 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x through 4.2 are not supported. You must
manually uninstall Dell OpenManage software versions 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x through 4.2 before launching the
Dell OpenManage software installation. The installer will notify you if it detects Dell OpenManage software
versions 1.x through 4.2 on the system. Another way of upgrading from these versions is to upgrade to version
4.3 first, then upgrade to the current version. For Microsoft Windows, you can upgrade from version 4.3 to a
later version through a full Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) installation only.
