Upgrading from v6.3.4 to v7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT! Follow these instructions carefully to
avoid unnecessary data loss. Note that the v7 import
v6 database feature can import data from any format
of v6 database (Access, SQL Server, MSDE) to *any*
v7 format (Access, SQL Server, MSDE). The database
formats need not match.
To upgrade successfully you should:
Back up your audit database/s to a location outside
of the Program Files/iInventory V6/ folder. Your audit
databases are stored in /iInventory V6/Databases.
Back up the software.mdb file from the Program Files/iInventory
V6/System folder to a location outside of the iInventory
V6 folder.
Install v7 (on the same PC is ok) and enter your
license key. Then create a new empty v7 database of
any name.
With iInventory v6 closed, use the v7 feature Tools
> Database Tools > Import iInventory v6 data
to import your audit data. Your v6 database is unchanged.
This import process will transfer details details
of computer (Windows, Mac & Linux) and general
equipment assets, user-defined software, and software
licenses.
