1.This is ONLY if you presently are running a version of AyaNova 4  This is NOT to upgrade from AyaNova 3 to AyaNova 4

2. Double-check your version before applying this by selecting menu Help -> About AyaNova

3. Proceed depending on the installation configuration you have presently:

If have installed AyaNova 4 for stand-alone use on a single computer:
 - make sure you have exited out of AyaNova 4
 - continue to Step #4

If have configured AyaNova 4 for network configuration
 - make sure all users, including yourself, are out of AyaNova 4
 - if applicable shut down the Generator service via your Services

 - if applicable stop the AyaNova Data Portal if running
 - uninstall the optional add-on WBI 4 via Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
 - continue to Step #4 performing steps on the server first

4. Download the latest 4.x version AyaNovaSetup.exe file (this is the same file you can download from the AyaNova Download web site http://www.ayanova.com/download.htm )

5. Run the new 4.x version AyaNovaSetup.exe installation file

- the installation will NOT overwrite your existing database if there is one already there

 - by default it will have preselected everything you have already installed - as these need to be installed again with the latest files

- if you are shown an error that it can not overwrite certain files, that is because you did not shut down all AyaNova products before hand as required. Cancel the installation, make sure everything is shut down, and run the installation again.
 - when it asks if you want to overwrite the config.txt file , select NO  By selecting NO, this means you do not have to edit your config.txt file again if you had configured for network use.

6. After the installation is completed, run this latest version of AyaNova 4, log in and confirm via Help -> About AyaNova that you are now running the latest version AyaNova 4.1.5.0

7. If a networked configuration, copy this latest AyaNovaSetup.exe file to the shared location on your network with your config.txt file and have each networked user run the AyaNovaSetup.exe file again just as they did when you first configured for network use (refer to your previous network instructions if need be).

When it asks any of the networked users if they want to overwrite config.txt file , select NO.

The installation will preselect everything already installed on the users computer, so have them accept that as it needs to be updated to the latest version.

8. If had previously installed WBI, download the latest version WBI 4.x, and install the latest WBI 4.x
 - refer to the WBI installation steps for details (i.e. after installation, copy over the config.txt file to the bin folder as needed before using)

9. Refer to the MBI installation steps in the latest AyaNova 4 Help file for installation, configuration and use of the new MBI

You have now upgraded your AyaNova program files and the AyaNova database to the latest version of AyaNova, and can now have everyone start using AyaNova again.

If you were presently running the network Generator service, restart it.
