What I did was
Backup everything
Uninstall WUG from Add/Remove programs
Install 8.0
Install 8.01
Install 8.01 Patch
I used this doc to determine what I needed to restore. The whole
process took about 20 minutes.
Upgrading
=========
If you are upgrading from a previous version of WhatsUp Gold or WhatsUp,
you should note the following:
- Back up any network maps! These will have the file extensions .DB
for WhatsUp and .WUP for WhatsUp Gold. NOTE: When you open a .DB
file in WhatsUp Gold, the file is automatically converted to the
WUP format and saved with a .WUP extension.
- Back up your SERVICES.INI and HOSTTYPES.INI files.
- Back up your Notifications subdirectory (new in version 6).
- For versions earlier than version 5, defined notifications are
stored in a file named IPNOTIFY.INI in your Windows or NT
directory. This file is shared by other Ipswitch products and
is therefore not deleted or replaced when you upgrade.
- Back up your GALLERY.INI file (new in version 7).
- During installation, if WhatsUp Gold detects that a MIB.TXT or
TRAPS.TXT exists in the installation directory, it will install
the new files as MIB.NEW and TRAPS.NEW.
- Be sure that WhatsUp Gold has completely shut down before doing an
upgrade installation. If you exit WhatsUp Gold during a poll, it may
take up to 30 seconds for WhatsUp Gold to remove itself from memory.
If you press Ctrl+Alt+Del, WhatsUp Gold will remain in the Windows
task list until it is removed from memory.
- WhatsUp Gold comes with a 'Classic' set of web templates by default,
however you are free to create your own versions too. 'Live'
template files are located in the 'Web' directory (as .asp files).
A clean archive of the 'Classic' web interface pages can be found
in the 'WebTemplatesArchive\Classic' subdirectory of the install
directory. As you upgrade to newer versions of WhatsUp Gold, the
install checks to see if you have modified the working set of web
template files in the 'Web' directory. If you have modified or
customized these files, the upgrade install will recognize this.
You will then have the opportunity, during install, to either backup
and replace the existing live templates and accept the updates
provided with this release, or keep your existing live templates
as is. If you choose to keep your existing web templates as the
live set, you can always find the latest set in the
WebTemplateArchive\Classic directory. To realize bug fixes
in your web template files you should consider merging the new
set with your customized working set. If you choose to accept
the updated templates as the live set, your customized templates
will be backed up under the WebTemplateArchive directory.
- Note: The "SNMP Threshold" custom service plug-in has been replaced.
If you have been using the custom service plug-in: "SNMP Threshold"
(SNMPCHK.DLL) you are encouraged to migrate to the new version
of this plug-in: "SNMP Monitoring" (SNMPMON.DLL) introduced with
v7.00. By doing this, you can take advantage of all updated SNMP
monitoring features. "SNMP Threshold" will continue to work with
v8.00. However, all future enhancements will occur in the new
"SNMP Monitoring" plug-in. The new "SNMP Monitoring" plug-in is
automatically installed with v8.00. Details on how to migrate can
be found in the following Knowledge Base article:

I had the same problem. I fixed it by uninstalling and installing
again. It is now working just fine.

I finally loaded 8.01 (release 2003.05.21), plus the hotfix on a test
system. WhatsUpG.exe still has (or now has) a problem with memory.
After three days running, it's memory usage is just over 108MB, compared
to my online system Version 8.00, build 2002.12.17, which is using about
12MB.
System Specs:
Dell 350, PIII 1000MHz, 256MB ram, running Win 2K, SP 3.

Hi, people.
Chatter on the 8.01 patch issues has died down. Is the basic conclusion
that the patch is fine, and that the issues that many people reported
were all isolated to their individual installations (how the app is
configured at their site)?
Thank you.......

What OS are you running?
Note that the Hotfix contains just two files:
1) snmpgrph.exe
2) WinEvnt.exe
There should be no impact on either wugsvc.exe or WhatsUpG.exe.

Well *somebody* has to be first. It's hopefully somebody doing it in the
test environment though and not their production environment. :)

Please respond to WhatsUp_Forum
After applying this patch the Whatsup service will not cleanly stop.
When I try stop the service it times out and the service show the status
as "Stopping". The service was starting/stopping just fine before the
patch.
Anyone any ideas?

Hi Gang,
Just a quick note to let you know that the patch that fixes those pesky
WhatsUp Gold 8.x memory leaks is now available for general distribution.
Here's what the patch does--
* Fixes Buffer overrun in SNMPGrph.exe
* Fixes a memory leak that occurred during polling
(SNMPGrph.exe)
* Fixes a memory leak when monitoring Windows Events
(WinEvnt.exe)
Here's where you get it--
