upgrade hostmonitor

Post by babar.munir »

we want to upgrade our licensed host monitor ver 4.86 to the latest version. i have 2 question.

1) if we buy only upgrade ($399), will it upgrade our current ver to the latest version ?

2) and if we buy the upgrade ($399), is it a setup and will install as a new version ? i mean without our current version it can be installed ?

If you have Enterprise license for version 4, yes, you can order update to latest version for $399

It can be installed without old version.
But I assume you want to keep your existing settings? Then you should use "Update/Repair" installation option.

May be you want to keep old software and install new HostMonitor on different system?
Then you should buy new license ($799).
Update does not provide 2nd license, its update of your existing license. 1 license = 1 installation (however you can move software from one system to another).

Yes, we did not test direct update from version 4 to version 9, that's why we recommended you to make backup copy before such update.
- make backup (simple copy or zip HostMonitor files),
- download new version,
- start installation program, make sure "Update/Repair" option is selected,
- finish installation, start HostMonitor,
- if anything wrong, stop HostMonitor, restore files from backup
Its 5 min job.

Alex
