Terry - AKA Dumbledore Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 If you need them to upgrade it for you then go ahead and submitt a request. I would think they will honor it as long as you lis. was valid at the time of the request. If you can install it yourself, go ahead and download the latest copy, you will still have the right to upgrade your code, because your lis. was valid at time of release.

Digi Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Upgrades are free to those with active SLAs (service level agreements...aka support contracts) unless something has changed recently. After your support/update contract expires you will not have access to the download area for that license. However, if you download it now yourself, you will be allowed to use the last version available to you. In this case it is 2.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krang Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Just another question about updating from 2.2 to 2.3:Can I just overwrite every folder? I will not overwrite folders like the emoticons because of using my own... But can I just overwrite stuff like /sources/ ? I don't want to get to every updated file and upload it one by one... ;) And I don't have to use any upgrade scripts since the database hasn't changed?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 You can upload all files, except image files as you noted (though you should actually create a separate emote group for your own purposes). I'm not sure on DB changes, but some of the post data has changed (due to how bbcode is now handled) so you will want to run the upgrader script as usual.

Dark Phantom Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 is it free? or must i pay?If you have an active license then you already paid, if your license is not active then you would have to pay $25 for another 6 months of support and upgrades.

thidepxinh Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 OMG all my mod are gone after the upgrade to v2.3!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis2 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 whenever you upgrade to a new version, you need to watch what files you upload. You are overwriting all your files so of course the mods you have installed are going to be affected if you are uploading any new file over the older files...Just have to re-install them now.
