For these scenarios, the current required Operating System
components are Windows 2000 Professional with Windows 2000 SP 2
applied and Internet Explorer 6.0.

Explorer are licensed products of Microsoft Corporation. Copies of the
Service Packs and Internet Explorer are included on the ProcessLogix
R510.0 Software CDs for your convenience.
ATTENTION
!
Client conversion is not dependent on the Server
conversion. This allows a customer with multiple
clients to pre-upgrade clients before upgrading the
ProcessLogix Server.
Since the procedures here do not affect the running
of the Server software, these procedures can be
performed with the system on-process. Caution
should be taken not to affect the Server in this
scenario.
If you are pre-converting clients before the Server is
converted to R510.0, these converted clients will
NOT be functional with the R320.0 or R400.0 SP2
System. R510.0 Client software is NOT backwards
compatible.
ATTENTION
!
This procedure does
NOT cover the existence of any
prior version of ProcessLogix Server Software on the
Client PC. To convert the systems which previously
had a version of R320.0 or R400.0 SP2 Server on
them to a R510.0 Client, you have to follow the
directions for a clean install.
