Software Upgrader
Application
The Software Upgrader is a Window-based PC application that eliminates the
release-by-release upgrade process, by converting an existing image file to the latest
Application Ware release in a single step. Once you have an upgraded CMEM, use
Vanguard Configuration Loader to load the CMEM into your Vanguard.
The goal of the software is to bring your network up to the most current versions of
Applications Ware. You can quickly upgrade all the node’s records with minimum
downtime.
The current version of Software Upgrader, upgrades releases from 4.96 to 6.2.
Note
Contact a Service Representative to obtain a copy of Software Upgrader.
Downgrading to
Prior Releases
Be aware that downgrading to and from any prior release is not supported and note
that problems will occur with the configuration memory. To properly downgrade, the
configuration should be defaulted and then restored with the saved CMEM that was
running in the prior release. (DRCaa22736)
