Upgrading from a previous version
Upgrading from Version 5:
You can upgrade your English users from any edition of Dragon
NaturallySpeaking Version 5 to Version 7. The installation automatically
migrates your english Version 5 user files and vocabularies to Version 7. If
you upgraded from:
■ Version 5 English, the Version 5 English software will no longer be
functional.
■ A non-English or multilingual Version 5, the software will remain fully
functional, but the english Version 5 users will no longer be available in
Version 5. Your non-English users files will not be upgraded and will
still be available.
Upgrading from Version 6:
You can upgrade from any edition of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Version 6
to Version 7. When upgrading from Version 6, you can choose to
automatically migrate your V6 user files and vocabularies to Version 7. Once
V7 is installed, Version 6 will no longer be functional.
