Chapter 4: Upgrading Dragon
Preparing to upgrade Roaming User
Profiles
Step 1: Install Dragon 11 or greater on the
computer where you upgrade the Dragon 9.x or
10.x Master Roaming User Profiles
Nuance recommends that administrators install Dragon 11 or greater on the computer where the
Dragon 9.x or 10.x Master Roaming User Profiles are located. If that is not possible, Nuance rec-
ommends that administrators install Dragon 11 or greater 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 during the installation or upgrade, you see the
Upgrade existing speech files to work with
this installation
prompt, be sure to leave this option unchecked. You can manually running
the
User Profile Upgrade Wizard
in a later step.
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 or greater on a separate computer
where you perform the upgrades. For more information, see Upgrading Roaming User
Profiles:Overview.
n You can only upgrade from Dragon 9.x or greater to Dragon 11.5. Upgrading from Dragon 8.x or
earlier to Dragon 11.5 is not supported
n If upgrading from Dragon 8.x or earlier to Dragon 11 or greater , version 8.x or earlier custom
words and commands can be re-used in Dragon 11 or greater . See the Dragon Help for
information on exporting and importing custom words and commands:
i. In Dragon 8.x or earlier, export the custom words and commands
ii. In Dragon 11 or greater , create a new User Profile.
iii. In Dragon 11 or greater , 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.
