How did I get into this? <smile> I am Alex, but you replied to a message from Matthew and put my name at the top. I was surprised to see my name, and this has happened before from other listers. How interesting.

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!
Matthew

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.

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?
