Replace the files and
folders of your installation
of DiversityCollection with the files you received by e-mail or
downloaded from
the DiversityWorkbench portal. The database will not be
influenced by this
replacement. After starting the new software you need to
transfer the
settings of the previous version.
When you start the program and connect to a database, the
program will check if it is
compatible with the database
or if the database needs an update. In any of these cases an
update entry in the menu will appear. If a new version of
the client is available,
this menu will contain an 
update client ... entry. Click on it to
open the
webpage where you may download the client as shown below.
If you are the owner of the database
(Database role = dbo)
and the database needs to be updated, the menu will contain an 
update
database ... entry. Select this entry to open a window as shown
below to run
the provided update scripts, delivered with the client software.
These scripts
need to run consecutively, so e.g. to update from version 2.5.1 to
2.5.4 you
either have to run the script
DiversityCollectionUpdate_020501_To_020504 or the
scripts DiversityCollectionUpdate_020501_To_020502,
DiversityCollectionUpdate_020502_To_020503 and
DiversityCollectionUpdate_020503_To_020504. The program will guide
you through
these steps and check for the scripts. All you need to do is click
the Start
update button.
