Should I upgrade AppleShare servers to System 7.5?

If you are using the AppleShare 4.0 Server software (or a later version), you
can upgrade the server to System 7.5.

IMPORTANT

If you use the AppleShare 4.0 Print Server (or a later version),

you can upgrade to System 7.5, but do not install QuickDraw GX on the Print
Server. Continue to use the 7.0 (or later) printer drivers installed by the
AppleShare 4.0 Print Server.

AppleShare 3.0 File and Print Servers (or any version earlier than 4.0) are not
compatible with System 7.5. You must upgrade the server software to version
4.0 or later before installing System 7.5 on a server.

If I have System 7.5 and QuickDraw GX installed on my Macintosh, can I print using an
AppleShare Print Server?

Yes. With System 7.5 and QuickDraw GX installed on your Macintosh, you
can print documents using either an AppleShare 3.0 (or later) or AppleShare
4.0 (or later) Print Server.

Do I need a special Installer to upgrade over the network? Can multiple users upgrade
this way at once?

The Installer included on your floppy disks and on the CD supports network
installation. If you set up a group upgrade server, multiple users can run the
Installer over the network simultaneously, but performance will decrease as
the number of users increases.

Will System 7.5 work with the application programs now installed on users’ computers?

While System 7.5 is compatible with most application programs, some will
require upgrading. Nearly all Macintosh software developers have versions
that are compatible with System 7.5. Check with individual vendors for
upgrade information.
