How to Upgrade from v6

I am currently running Biblioscape v6.6. I have been looking through this Web site for documentation regarding upgrading to v7.x. Could you direct me to it or tell me what needs to be done?

Easy

Hi Scott,

I found the upgrade very easy. Back up your V6 database just in case. Download and install the V7 software and the latest patch. Start Biblioscape 7 and tell it to open your V6 database. The program will then convert it to the new database format. Personally, I encountered no problems. The way folders are handled is different in V7, but all your old folders will be preserved in a family of categories called "Old Folders".

It may be a good idea to wait with the upgrade until the next patch comes out; you can see from other threads that some bugs are being fixed at the moment.

Hi, Dannis!

What do you mean by "upgrade"? Should I purchase Biblioscape again?

You don't have to purcahse

You don't have to purcahse minor upgrades (7.0 to 7.x). We only charge for major upgrades (7.x to 8.x).

Thank you but the theme was

Thank you but the theme was "How to Upgrade from v6". What about it?

- "upgrades (7.x to 8.x)"

May be "upgrades (6.x to 7.x)"?

It is the same. Version 6.x

It is the same. Version 6.x to version 7.x is also considered a major upgrade.

Great Advice

Thanks for the advice. I will wait for the next rev.
