EV 6.0 Upgrade from 5.0

Hello,

Can someone tell me if it is necessary to go to version 6.0 from 5.0SP3 and then install 6.0SP1 afterwards. OR can I go straight from 5.0SP3 to 6.0SP1 using the SP1 download?

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,

Yes you can go direct but be aware.
In V6 sp1 the facility to convert archives to structured archives is no longer available so make sure that all your archives are structured already.

This is something thing that will affect customers who've upgraded from versions prior to v5. All user archives created in V5 and onwards are structured anyhow so not an issue.

We started at 5.0 SP3 so we should be fine.

Is there any need for any license file changes? Or will the license files I have in place be just fine for the upgrade?

Thanks,
Paul

No. No new licence is required

Can you tell me if there is any necessary upgrade that needs to be performed on the backend or frontend Exchange mail servers if they are running Exch2003? I see the manual says something about OWA2000 extensions but not OWA2003 specific. Is there no upgrade for those components?

Thanks,
Paul

There is no upgrade path for OWA.

You will need to uninstall the extensions, delete the EV virtual directories in IIS on the exchange OWA servers and then install the new extensions as per the install guide.

Is Outlook plug-in version 5 compatible con EV version 6?

I wouuld tell it is the correct procedure, but installing new OWA extensions on Exchange server without any adjustments also worked fine in our test environment. (I tested it upgrading v5.0 SP3 to v.6)

I have not a clear understand ! (maybe my bad English...)

anyway:
-if EV client 5.0 works with EV server 5.0
-if EV client 5.0 works with EV server 6.0
-if EV client 6.0 works with EV server 5.0
-if EV client 6.0 works with EV server 6.0

What's the difference between EV client 5.0 and EV client 6.0?
