· 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.
