2.5	Upgrading from a previous version

Upgrading from version 7.0 or version 7.1 of GFI EventsManager to GFI EventsManager version 8 is fully supported. To upgrade to GFI EventsManager 8, follow the installation procedures provided in the installation procedure section within this chapter of the user manual

Upgrading from versions older than version 7 is not possible due to the underlying operational and processing technology subsystems which are different from the current version of GFI EventsManager. You will still however be able to run an older (pre-version 7) version of GFI EventsManager on the same machine on which a newer version of GFI EventsManager is installed since there are no conflicts between the older and the newer versions.
