KB08040701 Simple upgrade How to do a Simple Upgrade: Windows XP & W2003 Server only Download the new version You can access the latest builds of Mailtraq directly from this page: download or use the link supplied to you by Mailtraq Support.
Install the new version - Shutdown Mailtraq
- Take a 'safety' backup of the Mailtraq Database folder.
The default location is 'C:\Program Files\Mailtraq\Database' - Run the download
- Restart Mailtraq if it does not restart automatically.
- You may archive or discard the 'safety' Database backup
after you have confirmed the successful upgrade.
Windows 2008, Vista and Windows 7 Use only the version and the upgrade advice here Configuration Tips: Tip Do not skip the 'safety' backup in Step 2. This backup can be used to easily step-back should anything go awry during the upgrade process, or you wish to revert to the previous build. |
1.) This method must only be used if you are upgrading within an existing version For example: Mailtraq 2.15.2.mmmm -> 2.15.2.nnnn
and you are sure that you have Current Upgrade Protection, having bought or renewed with the last 12 months. If you are unsure - or to find out more, please see www.mailtraq.com/upgrading
2.) Unless you have otherwise been advised by Support, you should be aware that some builds may have Beta or other untested pre-release features that should not be used in a production environment. If you have any questions, simply contact us before installing 3.) Now would be a good time to review your Backup policy |
