NOTES:
- Users of older versions must first upgrade to Discovery 9.0 (following the upgrade notes in the appropriate release notes) prior to moving to this release.
- During the upgrade of the database the installer will need 3-5 times the size of your database in free temporary space available to your SQL server. If this amount of space is not available to the SQL instance hosting the Discovery repository we recommend you increase the available space prior to running the upgrade. Please note that users of SQL 2005 Express are limited to 4GB of data and therefore will not be able to upgrade if their database is larger than about 800MB
- For a full list of supported server operating systems and minimum system requirements please see http://www.frontrange.com/discovery/system-requirements.aspx. The posted minimum system requirements are for a dedicated server running Discovery Web Edition and the SQL instance housing the Discovery database only. Additional applications or
optional components will increase these minimums. Depending on your audit schedule a system more powerful than the minimum system requirements may be needed.
