FAQ on upgrading MailEnable v 1.x, 2.x to 3

If I upgrade, will the current mail accounts be affected?

No - in fact the configuration and message store are not affected when the upgrade occurs.  For a Professional to Enterprise upgrade, the format of the settings/etc. are identical to the Professional release - it is just that Enterprise has additional features.  The same applies to a Professional 1.x /2.x - Professional 3 upgrade and the Enterprise 1.x/2.x - Enterprise 3 upgrade.

To upgrade you can simply install over the existing installation accepting the default values when running through the setup wizard. i.e. just click the Next button and leave everything as the default. This process is outlined in detail in Knowledge Base Article ME020040

Once I install MailEnable 3 over my existing 1.x/2.x, will all features be enabled?

Yes - When you install Version 3 over a registered version 1.x or 2.x, the software will re-enter an evaluation state of the normal 90 day evaluation period. During this period, you can explore the new features (all features are enabled under evaluation). If you are running Version 1.x/2.x in evaluation, the trial period is not extended.

Should you wish to then license the new version, you can do so under the "Upgrade licenses" section of your Online Services account or by registering the product.

Will there be a downtime while I upgrade?

The install process usually takes less than 5 minutes to install - but the server will most likely need to be rebooted (depending on whether there are any system files that cannot be replaced by the MailEnable installation).

If I install Version 3 and after evaluating it, decide not to purchase, can I downgrade back to the previously installed version?

Yes, you can downgrade from Version 3 Enterprise or Professional Edition by following the instructions detailed in this Knowledge Base article: http://www.mailenable.com/kb/Content/Article.asp?ID=me020428

Once I have the software installed, how can I obtain an updated license key for Version 3?

  • You will need to login to Online Services using your account details emailed to you when you purchased MailEnable. Navigate to the "Issued licenses" and beside your current license key you will see a button named "upgrade".
  • Click the upgrade button and follow the prompts to upgrade your current license key.
  • Once you have upgraded your license key, you can then use the Registration Wizard (under the MailEnable program group) to enter the updated key.
