UPGRADINGSOFTPROSTAN DA RD
This section provides procedures for upgrading from SoftPro Standard Edition 10.0.2, 11.0 or 11.1 to
SoftPro Standard Edition 12.0. It also explains the upgrade path if you are using older versions of SoftPro
Standard.
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with any installation, please backup all SoftPro data. A separate
document named Software Upgrade Pre-Installation; Backing Up SoftPro Data is provided, which
outlines how to locate and backup SoftPro data.
Follow the appropriate procedure to upgrade from SoftPro Standard 10.0.2 or higher to SoftPro Standard
12.0:
• Upgrade for a Standalone Computer: A standalone upgrade is for a single computer that will
not be used to share SoftPro information with another computer. In a standalone setup, all
SoftPro information is stored on the computer’s local disk.
• Upgrade for a Peer-to-Peer Network Client: A peer-to-peer network is a simple office network
where each computer on the network is considered an equal (or “peer”) to every other computer
on the network. The easiest way to identify a peer-to-peer network is to answer the following
question: “Is every computer in the office used by someone as a workstation?” If so, it is probably
a peer-to-peer network. The installation disc is not used to install the applications on the Client
Workstation. The installation of the software is achieved by accessing the setup files located on
the machine acting as the server.
• Upgrade for a Dedicated Network Server: A dedicated server network is a network where a
single computer has been designated as the computer that all other computers on the network
will rely upon to manage the network’s information and resources. This computer, usually isolated
from the rest of the network in a separate room or closet, has been “dedicated” to “serve” the
other computers on the network. A dedicated server computer will not be used as a workstation.
• Upgrade for a Network Client Workstation: A Network Client Workstation is one in which the
computer is solely running the SoftPro applications and accesses all data from a computer that is
acting as a server. The installation disc is not used to install the applications on the Client
Workstation. The installation of the software is achieved by accessing the setup files located on
the server.
• Upgrade for a Terminal Server Configuration: In a Terminal Server Configuration, there is
typically one machine that is set up to act as an Application Server. The applications are run
remotely through a Remote Desktop program. The computer acting as a Terminal Server can be
either a client to a server for the SoftPro data, or act as a standalone where the data and
applications reside on one machine.
