upgrading to latest ver 4.41

[quote user="Sher"]

I have 4.02a installed on my Windows 2003 server with around 40 users.  How do I upgrade instead of a new install?

I assume that you have installed Pegasus on the server and each user runs an instance of the prorgam off a mapped network drive, and each has a mailbox configured in their own "home" directory there...

 

If so, that is how we had ours configured... in which case: 

When you run the Setup program on the server, it will detect the previous installation and the initial "Welcome to Pegasus" dialog page will display an "Update" button alongside the "New Install..." and "Exit" buttons.

 

Selecting the "Update" button will install the new program version on top of the older version and retain all the existing settings.

I recently upgraded from 4.3x to 4.41 in this way. I also made sure that nobody was running Pegasus or had anything open prior to installation.

I don't know if there are any special considerations when going from 4.02a to 4.41.

 
Of course, when installing software on servers (and elsewhere), always make sure you have recent backups.

Hi all,

Can I upgrade from v4.02a straight to 4.41 ?  I do not use Mercury.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Sure can, just make sure you upgrade and not install new.
