Upgrading from Previous Versions of PCM and IDM
The installation package for PCM 2.2 contains the IDM 2.15 installation files.
If you are running earlier versions of IDM you must select the IDM option
during the PCM 2.2 install process. This is required to support changes made
in the underlying PCM and IDM databases.
