This section describes how to upgrade an existing LinkScan installation to LinkScan Version 9.0.
Users upgrading from LinkScan 6.x or earlier must perform a brand new installation into a clean (i.e. empty) directory.
Users upgrading from LinkScan 7.x or 8.x for Windows should carry out the following steps:
Execute the self-extracting archive, linkscan.exe, to initiate InstallShield.
When prompted for a target installation folder, please select the folder where your existing copy of LinkScan resides. The installer will update the LinkScan programs and documentation but leave your configuration files unchanged.
If you use the LinkScan to Email interface, add the following command to linkscan.sys:
Smtphost = hostname # Name of your SMTP server
If you use command-line generated reports, we suggest you update your linkscan.rep files based on the new 9.0 format (see the updated copy in default/linkscan.rep)
Initiate a fresh scan of each Project to update the LinkScan databases.
Users upgrading from LinkScan 6.x or earlier must perform a brand new installation into a clean (i.e. empty) directory.
