2.6 Upgrading from previous versions
2.6.1 Upgrading a Standalone Installation
Before upgrading from a previous zzzPAT version, the older version must be uninstalled.
The zzzPAT installer will identify if the older version has not been removed and will prompt you to uninstall it.
Note
Uninstalling zzzPAT does not remove the zzzPAT database, however, it is strongly recommended to backup the database before upgrading zzzPAT y
Backup the entire database of the existing zzzPAT installation (see Database
Wizard, Backup section 7.1.3). y
Uninstall the previous version using ‘Add/Remove Programs’ applet from the control panel. y
Select ‘Setup.exe’ from the zzzPAT installation CD-ROM to start the zzzPAT installation program. y
Follow stages 1-6 in section 2.5.
2.6.2 Upgrading a Shared Database Installation
Activating the Shared Database installation on an older version zzzPAT station will update the zzzPAT software only – the database will not be updated through the installer and will require a separate upgrade process described later in this section.
Warning
!
An upgraded zzzPAT will not always work with older versions of the database. Once an upgrade to a Shared Access installation zzzPAT station is made, both the local and shared access databases must be updated to the correct version before the zzzPAT can be put to use again.
Before upgrading from a previous version of the zzzPAT, the older version must be uninstalled. The zzzPAT installer will identify if the older version has not been removed, and will prompt you to uninstall.
Note
Uninstalling zzzPAT does not remove the zzzPAT database, however, it is strongly recommended to backup the database before upgrading zzzPAT. zzzPAT 4.2
