Upgrade Information

Important Information for Upgrading Compass

From previous versions of Newpoint Compass

Figure 3 To Upgrade, select Repair



Compass clients distributed with older Compass releases (and custom
clients compiled with toolkits from older releases) can not connect to
the Compass 4.0 server.

Before you decide to upgrade to the newest version of Compass,
consider the following:

If you upgrade, you will have to recompile all drivers and
custom clients with the Compass 4.0 Toolkit.

If you upgrade, you must upgrade all systems at all sites; you
cannot upgrade only some of the systems in a network.

If you use Mercury units in your system, and you upgrade to
Compass 4.0, you must also upgrade the Mercury units.
