If Version 5.x is installed
Simply run the V6 installer to upgrade your version 5 installation. It will automatically overwrite the files of version with the new files and upgrade your data.
When upgrading from Version 5 to Version 6 of PRTG Traffic Grapher please keep the following points in mind:
· As usual for any software installation it is strongly recommended to create a backup of your data (i.e. the “*.prtg” file and your monitoring database) before proceeding with the installation. These files are usually stored in the following folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\PRTG Traffic Grapher
· You can optionally uninstall version 5 manually before upgrading. The uninstaller will only remove the software, all your data and settings will remain untouched on the disk.
· Your sensor settings and the historic monitoring data will be automatically loaded & converted as soon as you start version 6 for the first time.
· After running version 6 once you can not go back to version 5 because the file formats are not backward compatible.
