Chapter 4: Upgrading Dragon
Preparing to upgrade Roaming User
Profiles
Step 1: Install Dragon 11 on the computer where
you upgrade the Dragon 9.x or 10.x Master
Roaming User Profiles
Nuance recommends that administrators install Dragon 11 on the computer where the Dragon 9.x
or 10.x Master Roaming User Profiles are located. If that is not possible, Nuance recommends that
administrators install Dragon 11 on a separate computer where they will perform the upgrades.
For more information on installing, see Installing Dragon on a single computer.
Notes:
n If you are unable to install Dragon where the Dragon 9.x or 10.x Master Roaming User Profiles
are located, Nuance recommends that you install Dragon 11 on a separate computer where you
perform the upgrades. For more information, see Upgrading Roaming User Profiles:Overview.

importing custom words and commands:
i. In Dragon 8.x or earlier, export the custom words and commands
ii. In Dragon 11 , create a new User Profile.
iii. In Dragon 11 , import the custom words and commands
Step 2:On the Dragon 9.x or 10.x end-user systems
that use the Roaming feature
On the end-user systems where the users dictate using the Dragon 9.x or 10.x Roaming feature,
save and close any open User Profiles on each Dragon 9.x or 10.x system that uses the Roaming fea-
ture.
Note: If there is no time when all the Roaming User Profiles are not in use (for example, in a hos-
pital where some physicians use Dragon during a night shift), administrators can upgrade different
groups of Roaming User Profiles at different times.
Step 3: On the central network storage location for
the Dragon 9.x or 10.x Master Roaming User
Profiles
1. (Optional) Back up the master Roaming User Profiles to a separate location, either by using any
system backup utility that is implemented at your facility or by using the Dragon The
