Alex, Actually, you need 7.0 in order ot install 7.2 properly because the bootloader is different between 6.x and 7.x. Actyally, KeySfot System Disk (Flash and SDRAM) is flashed (rewritten), whereas new files are copied over.

Hi, This is all just from what I've read and my understanding, but it depends on how 8.0 works, and if you have an SMA. >From what I read in the upgrade instructions, if a person had a BN with KeySoft 6 on it, they would be able to purchase KeySoft 7.2 and install it with no issues. Everything would work, and all the features introduced in 7 would be present in 7.2. The only thing I'm not sure about is Eloquence, but I assume this would get installed as from what I can tell the upgrade effectively whipes and re-writes the flash/Keysoft System disk. If you have an SMA, I don't think it's possible to skip upgrades, but that would be an issue for HumanWare to deal with. The whole purpose of an SMA, though, is to get the very latest as it comes out, so why you'd want to skip an upgrade I don't know. I think, and don't know, that the only reason you couldn't install 7.x on a machine with 5.x/4.x is because it doesn't have CE 4.2, and neither does the upgrade. I hope that helps, and if anyone can correct me on any of these issues, please do so!

Mat; Does this mean, I can skip 7.2 and go to 8.0 and I would have to use both SMA features. Would I also get all features in 7.2 and 8.0? Thanks.

Hi, Not necessarily - it normally says the earliest version you can upgrade from in the upgrade instructions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Kelker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 4:33 PM Subject: [Braillenote] SEQUENTIAL KEYSOFT INSTALLATION? > Hello, > > I understand that all paid upgrades of KEYSOFT must be purchased, but do > they all need to be sequentially installed in order for the next one to be > fully functional? > > > Diane > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote > > > ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
