Upgrading

When PageGate is upgraded from a previous version, all the previous settings and information will be automatically upgraded too (as long as the new version of PageGate is installed to the same location as the older version).

Upgrading from PageGate version 3.x


1. IMPORTANT - If you are currently running a registered version of PageGate, be sure to obtain a registration key for version 4.x BEFORE continuing. Your version 3.x key will not work in version 4.x.

2. If you are running PageGate 3.x as a system service (NT service), switch it back to run as an application before upgrading. After upgrading, you can switch it back to run as a service.

3. Use the regular installation instructions found later in this section, but be sure to install version 4.x to the same folder that 3.x was installed to.

4. After the installation of version 4.x is complete, run the PG Admin program before starting the PageGate server. This will upgrade the database structure.

Upgrading from PageGate version 4.x to a newer version of 4.x

1. If you are running PageGate 4.x as a system service (NT service), switch it back to run as an application before upgrading. After upgrading, you can switch it back to run as a service.

2. Install the newer version of 4.x over your existing version.

3. After the installation of version 4.x is complete, run the PG Admin program before starting the PageGate server. This will upgrade the database structure.
