Systems built only with supported devices may by upgraded to version 6.5.0 or
higher using the upgrade procedure in this section.
If NetBIOS has been disabled in the network properties, make sure it is enabled
before performing an upgrade.
In addition, if you are upgrading from a Browse system that has version 6.0b, you
will need to back up the database and config files, and save them to the NAS or
some central server. MDIs no longer have transfer targets on archives.
You cannot use the old configuration file, except as a reference. The data is the
same, but you need to go into the MediaFrame Config tool and specify the transfer
target in the News, K2, M-Series or Profile MDI.
If the MediaFrame server does not have the Windows operating system Server
2003 SP2 and SQL database version 2005 SP2, you will need to backup the database
and re-import it after you have upgraded the system.

more information, refer to the Aurora Browse Installation & Configuration Guide.
