Upgrading from PRTG Version 4 to Version 6
Esta pagina no esta disponible en Español. Rogamos su comprension.
When upgrading from Version 4 to Version 6 please be aware of the following aspects:
- As usual with software upgrades it is strongly recommended to create a backup of your data files before installing the upgrade
- Version 4 must be uninstalled using PRTG4's standard uninstaller before version 6 can be installed.
- Your sensor settings and the historic monitoring data will be preserved and automatically loaded & converted as soon as you start version 6 for the first time. If you are using panel based authentication in the webserver please check the converted new web server user accounts after upgrading.
- Since the reporting system was completely changed the V4 email reports are not supported anymore and you must create new reports.
- After running version 6 once you can not go back to version 4 because the file formats are not backward compatible.
For Users of the Freeware Edition
Simply install version 6 as described above and you will be able to monitor up to three sensors (instead of one sensor with V4)
