database administrator for assistance.

Upgrading
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Emonitor, refer to the chapter titled
Upgrading from a previous version. A new feature of the upgrade process is that the
installation program asks if you want to back up your Emonitor configuration files. This
includes all the data collector INI files, as well as any configuration files for any of the
Emonitor programs (such as the Emonitor Scheduler and the Emonitor Online
components). This allows you to protect your configuration files during an upgrade, and
then bring them back into the new version.
If you are upgrading from a version of Emonitor prior to 3.20 (including Emonitor for
Windows (EFW), Odyssey, or IQ 2000), please contact Customer Support for assistance.
Additional steps are required to upgrade from the 16-bit to 32-bit software. See Statement
of Technical Support on page 4 for contact information.
