RE: Upgrading to R:BASE for Windows 6.5++

Cheryl:

It's not necessary to lock down the database while you update your users'
systems.

You just can't use the 6.5++ features until you've finished the all of the
updates.

I am using a modular approach in updating my clients, by upgrading just
some of their systems at a time. This is working well for them.

Good luck in your migration!

 If you haven't changed the code for specific 6.5++ code then you should
not
have to lock everyone out.

 That is one reason why I have my 60 or 70 users running R:Base from the
server. I just need to change/update the server and I'm done.

Subject: Upgrading to R:BASE for Windows 6.5++


I'm ready to upgrade our group of about 20 users to R:BASE for Windows
6.5++.  R:BASE for Windows v6.5+ (1.833xRT03) is currently installed on
each
computers hard drive.  I have heard that it's important for everyone to be
running the same version of R:BASE.  Does this mean I need to lock
everyone
out of the databases for an afternoon while I run from computer to computer
deleting the old version and installing v6.5++?  Any tricks or advice to
facilitate the transition?  Thanks!
