Upgrade Overview

Collaboration server can be upgraded to version 5.0 from version 4.0 or greater by using the InstallShield upgrade program.

If you are using a previous version of Collaboration Server then you must upgrade to at least version 4.0 before you can run the upgrade to version 5.0. This may require that you update the Operating System to the supported version of Microsoft Windows 2000.

Important! Be sure to backup the database before attempting any upgrades.

Additionally, Collaboration Server 5.0 supports SQL Server 2000 and Oracle 8.1.7 for database servers. If you are using a previous version of the database server then you must upgrade to one of the supported version for Collaboration Server version 5.0.
