2. You can update Intellect on top of the installed version without preliminary removing only in case if the second version number corresponds to both of the installed and new versions (i.e. you can update from 4.10.x to 4.10.y (x<y) or from 4.11.x to 4.11.y (x<y), but you cannot update from 4.10 to 4.11).

3. It is recommended to update Intellect with removing the old version in the following order:
   1. Remove Intellect using any of the ways described in Removing INTELLECT™ software

   2. Remove the files left in the Intellect installation directory (by default, C:\Program Files (x86)\Intellect\)

      To save the license, you need to copy the ‘intellect.sec.’ activation key into the temporary storage before removing the files from this folder.

      
      

4. Run Intellect new version installation.

5. When you are going to update from the 4.7.3 version to a newer one, you need to apply to the AxxonSoft manager for activation key regeneration since the Intellect activation key operation principle has been changed starting with this version.
6. MS SQL Server 2014 is being supplied as the part of the Intellect distributives starting with the 4.10.0.1558 version, and for the older versions – MS SQL Server 2008. MS SQL Server is going to be updated to a newer version during Intellect update.
