Upgrading from a Previous Version of <strong>AuthorIT</strong><br />
Upgrading to <strong>AuthorIT</strong> V4 involves a number of steps. While you can install and run<br />
V4 alongside previous versions, we recommend that you fully un‐install any previous<br />
versions first. We also recommend that you maintain accurate backups of your data<br />
before installing the software.<br />
Important: Please read this procedure carefully before attempting to upgrade your<br />
existing version of <strong>AuthorIT</strong>. <strong>With</strong> any update we recommend you always test it in a<br />
separate environment before changing your production environment.<br />
Upgrading to <strong>AuthorIT</strong> V4<br />
1) Ensure all users are logged out of your library, then backup all your libraries,<br />
graphics, templates, and any other support files before you begin. If using SQL<br />
Server you can backup your library by exporting it to JET provided the library is<br />
under 2GB, otherwise have your SQL Server administrator back it up for you.<br />
2) Install <strong>AuthorIT</strong> using the correct installation procedure for your Edition of<br />
<strong>AuthorIT</strong>. We recommend you fully uninstall your current version of <strong>AuthorIT</strong><br />
first.<br />
3) Using <strong>AuthorIT</strong> Administrator open your existing library. <strong>AuthorIT</strong> will prompt<br />
to upgrade your library. Choose Yes to continue. If using a JET database library<br />
(Workgroup or Desktop) <strong>AuthorIT</strong> will automatically backup your library then<br />
upgrade it.
