Medisoft/Advantage upgrade from 8.1 32-bit to 9.0 64-bit
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:32 am
I'm a little frightened of the prospect of what will likely be the next database upgrade.
If (rather, when) we upgrade to Medisoft 15, I'm concerned about how much trouble the upgrade will be.
We've been running Medisoft 14 with the 32-bit version of Advantage Database 8.1, but it's been running (in 32-bit mode) on a 64-bit OS, that being \"Windows Server 2003 x64\".
Will the key shipped with Medisoft 15 be valid on both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of ADS 9.0? Will the database install (upgrade) be able to both convert from version 8.1 to 9.0, and, from 32-bit to 64-bit at the same time?
What happens to our existing (32-bit ADS 8.1 compatible) data dictionaries? Are they reformatted or converted automatically (if necessary) during the ADS 9.0 upgrade process?
Thank you so much.
