<strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>12</strong> <strong>Administrator</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
Upgrading Your <strong>Dragon</strong> Installation<br />
from the Command Line<br />
174<br />
There are two command line upgrade scenarios:<br />
n Major Upgrade—Upgrading from Version 10, 10.x, 11, or 11.x to <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>NaturallySpeaking</strong> .<br />
n Minor Upgrade—Upgrading to a higher point release within the same edition and version of<br />
<strong>Dragon</strong>. For example, upgrading from <strong>Dragon</strong> 11.0 to <strong>Dragon</strong> 11.x.<br />
Note: You can only upgrade from <strong>Dragon</strong> 10.x or greater to <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>12</strong>. Upgrading from <strong>Dragon</strong><br />
9.x or earlier to <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>12</strong> is not supported<br />
All of these types of upgrades can either display the GUI or be silent (not display the GUI),<br />
except the minor upgrade, which does not support the silent option.<br />
When you perform a silent installation of <strong>Dragon</strong>, the installation process does not display any<br />
messages. To view installation messages, administrators should view the log files. See Troubleshooting<br />
silent install errors for details.<br />
An administrator cannot upgrade User Profiles with the command line installation. For more information<br />
on upgrading Roaming User Profiles, see the section below. If User Profiles are not Roaming<br />
User Profiles, administrators run the User Profile Upgrade Wizard after installation<br />
completes.<br />
Upgrading Roaming User Profiles<br />
Before upgrade User Profiles, administrators must upgrade Roaming User Profiles in the Roaming<br />
User Profile directory. Afterwards, administrators can upgrade <strong>Dragon</strong> on the client computers<br />
and the Roaming User Profiles become available as soon as the upgrade is complete.<br />
See "Upgrading User Profiles to <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>NaturallySpeaking</strong> " in <strong>Dragon</strong> - What's New for administrators<br />
for more information.<br />
Background on Roaming User Profiles<br />
Before administrators upgrade Roaming User Profiles from <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>NaturallySpeaking</strong> 10.x or 11.x<br />
to <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>NaturallySpeaking</strong> , they need to recall some basics about how the Roaming feature<br />
works: Each <strong>Dragon</strong> end-user has a master Roaming User Profile that can be opened from any networked<br />
computer where <strong>Dragon</strong> is installed. The master Roaming User Profiles are stored on a network<br />
location. When a master Roaming User Profile is opened from that central network location,<br />
<strong>Dragon</strong> transfers a copy of that User Profile to the Local Roaming User Profile on the computer<br />
where the end-user is dictating.<br />
Recommended Approach<br />
Since the Local Roaming User Profile is a copy of the end-user data taken from the master Roaming<br />
User Profile, it does not make any sense to directly upgrade the Local Roaming User Profile<br />
when upgrading the local <strong>Dragon</strong> installation.
