Upgrading from version 3.x
Previous  Top  Next

If you are upgrading from version 3.x, you must follow these steps:
·Get your new Registration Key (write to sales@tech-noel.com to get it)  
·Update your Pigeon Server first  
·Run the file v3tov4.exe. This will import the information in your existing Pigeon.mdb file to the new Pigeon4.mdb file.  
·Register and configure your Pigeon Server from the Pigeon Server Configuration tool. You must check the Clients v3.x check box to allow your current Pigeon Clients v3.x to connect.  
·Start your Pigeon Server. The Pigeon Server version 4 is compatible with your Pigeon Clients v3.x, Pigeon Admin v3.x, Pigeon Generator v3.x and Pigeon Generator for Unix v2.1.  
·At this point, all your existing Pigeon Clients v3.x should start to reconnect to your new server.  
·Update your Pigeon Admins (recommended)  
·Update your Pigeon Clients. Even if version 4 is compatible with your Pigeon Clients v3.x, you should consider to upgrade them to the new version.  
·When all your Pigeon Clients have been upgraded to version 4, reconfigure your Pigeon Server to uncheck the Clients v3.x option. Restart your Pigeon Server.  
·If required, the new Pigeon Gateway can be install from the full installation package: ftp://ftp.tech-noel.com/Pigeon4Setup.exe.
