Moving to New Version - Couple of Questions

[mdjtlj]

Greetings,

I'm currently using a single user license under Vault 4.1.3 - yes, I know that this is old. I've hired another employee and we're going to need to move to paid licensed version 5.1.1 and this raises a few questions in my mind that I'd like to get confirmation on:

Server spec:
- W2K3 Server (SBS), 32 bit
- SQL 2000

I'm assuming that this old configuration is still good based upon the current documentation.

Would a version jump from 4.1.3 to 5.1.1. require a complete un-installation and then re-install, or can we simply just run the new installer and the upgrade occur? (after backing up the SQL Server of course).

Anything we should know before we do this?

Vault 4.1.3 and Vault 5.1.1 are not that many versions apart. You mat be able to install the new version over the old one with no problems -- after backing up your databases first.

If there's a problem, you can restore the 4.1.3 databases and upgrade in smaller increments.

You might want to review the release notes so you can see what's changed between 4.1.3 and 5.1.1:
