Upgrading From v8 to v9

[mms]

1. If I Upgrade from v8 to v9 instead of installing full new copy of v9, does this mean i will not be able to use v8 anymore.

2. Is it best to install v9 as new copy and import the site from v8.

Install v9 as a new version - don't select upgrade at the beginning during the installation. You will then have v8 and v9 both installed as separate programs. You can then export a snapshot from v8 and import it into v9 and it will automatcalluy start the upgrade into v9 without affecting your v8 site at all.

v9 has been tested on Vista, as has the latest v7 and v8 releases. You will have a choice at installation time where you want the site information to be saved - normally you would select the default, your documents, in Vista.
