Upgrade

When upgrading to the latest version, it's crucial to follow the correct procedure. Ensure to adhere to the specified steps for upgrading from your current version:

• For upgrades from 2.0

• Subsequently, upgrade from 3.0 to the latest version available.

3. Stop WriteBackExtreme Open WriteBackExtreme on the server and stop the service.

4. Overwrite files in the installation folder You can now unzip the latest version inside the current WriteBackExtreme folder. Please overwrite all the files when asked. Do not run the latest version of WriteBackExtreme in a new folder, it will not find the current configuration and therefore will ask you to re-run the installation from scratch instead of having an upgrade
