Upgrading from OmniServer Server Edition to OmniServer Professional Edition

To upgrade from OmniServer Server Edition to OmniServer Professional Edition:

1. IMPORTANT: Please make a backup of your OmniServer Server Edition installation directory. Although nothing in this procedure will destroy the OmniServer Server Edition installation, it's always best to have backups.
2. If you are running OmniServer Server Edition as a service, stop the service. To do this, first launch the OmniServer configuration program and select View | Runtime options from the OmniServer menu. Uncheck the "Run as a service" option, then exit. Finally, check the Services section in your system's Administrative tools and insure that the server has been stopped and is disabled.
3. If you are not running OmniServer Server Edition as a service, stop the polling for OmniServer Server Edition by right-clicking on the icon in the icon tray and selecting Exit. If you do not see the icon, then OmniServer Server Edition is not running.
4. Install your copy of OmniServer Professional Edition. This will overwrite the OmniServer Server Edition program but will not touch your current configuration.
5. Start up OmniServer Professional Edition. You will see your configuration and your protocols.
6. If you were running OmniServer Server Edition as a service and you wish to run OmniServer Professional Edition as a service, please see our Using Services section for more information.
