Install Upgrade from hostmon 9.84Beta > 9.90

Hi all,

I need to know if there is anything special in regards to upgrading to HOSTMON version 9.90 (Latest)?

Can it be a simple install over the top?

Will all settings and tests remain the same or do I need to reconfigure anything?

thanks

Run installation program, answer "Yes" on the prompt to install Advanced Host Monitor software. Setup wizard will then ask you to choose between the two available types of installation.

- "Install" - Use this option either for a fresh new installation or to completely replace an old version. With this option the newer installation will overwrite all files of previously installed (if any) version of Advanced Host Monitor unless you selected different disk folder for installation.

- "Update/repair" - Use this option to update previously installed Advanced Host Monitor to a newer version while keeping all user settings unchanged. Also you may use this option to repair installed software when some files were removed by mistake or after virus attack. Setup program will overwrite all executable modules of previously installed HostMonitor, help files, etc; all user settings will remain intact.

Regards
Alex

Thanks Alex,

Upgrade complete, we also had an issue with HOSTMON freezing when performing tests. Very unstable and could not even create edit any tests.

The outcome was to "exclude" the HOSTMON directories from "on-access scanning" from the antivirus software and this resolved the problem.

Case closed

Thanks
