Step-by-Step Process for Upgrading
Roaming User Profiles
176
1. Plan to upgrade the master Roaming User Profiles at a time when they are not being opened by
end-users, for example during the night or on a weekend. Nuance recommends backing-up User
Profiles before upgrading them.
2. Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking on the computer where the Dragon 10.x or 11.x Master Roaming
User Profiles are located. If that is not possible, Nuance recommends that you install
Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a separate computer where you will perform the upgrades.
OR
If unable to install Dragon where the Dragon 10.x or 11.x Master Roaming User Profiles are
located, Nuance recommends administrators:
n Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a separate computer where they will perform
the upgrades.
n Copy the Dragon 10.x or 11.x Master Roaming User Profiles from the network
location to the computer where Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed.
n Upgrade the Dragon 10.x or 11.x Master Roaming User Profiles on the computer
where Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed.
n Copy the upgraded Dragon NaturallySpeaking Master Roaming User Profiles to a
network accessible directory on the original network location.
In Dragon NaturallySpeaking or earlier, if the upgrade installation displays an option
to upgrade existing User Profiles to work with this installation, ignore the option, as
it does not affect Roaming User Profiles. Administrators manually run the User Profile
Upgrade Wizard later.
3. On the end-user systems where the end-users dictate, save and close any open User Profiles on
each Dragon 10.x or 11.x system that uses the Roaming feature.
If there is no time when all of the Roaming User Profiles are not in use (for example, in a hospital
where physicians use Dragon during a night shift), administrators can upgrade different
groups of Roaming User Profiles at different times.
4. On the central network location that stores Dragon 10.x or 11.x master Roaming User Profiles,
back up the master Roaming User Profiles to a separate location by using any system backup utility
that is implemented at your facility.
5. On the central network location that stores Dragon 10.x or 11.x master Roaming User Profiles,
create a new directory to store the upgraded Dragon NaturallySpeaking Master Roaming User
Profiles.
Always be sure the upgraded User Profiles are in a different location from the current User Profiles.
If end-users see two versions of each User Profile, they may become confused when they
try to open a User Profile. Nuance recommends storing User Profiles, from different versions of
Dragon, in different locations.
6. If Dragon NaturallySpeaking is not installed on the computer where the Dragon 10.x or 11.x
Master Roaming User Profiles are located, create a directory on the local computer where
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is installed. The directory stores all the Master Roaming User Profiles
