The installer for Aspera Client automatically checks for
a previous version of the product on your system. If a previous version is found,
the installer automatically removes it and upgrades your computer to the newer
version.
Although the installer
performs your upgrade automatically, we highly recommend completing the tasks
below before starting the installation/upgrade process. If you do not follow these
steps, you risk installation errors or losing your former configuration settings.
Skip any steps that do not apply to your specific product version.
Note: You cannot upgrade directly between different Aspera transfer products (such as
from Point-to-Point to Client, or from Point-to-Point to Enterprise Server). To
upgrade, you need to back up the configuration, uninstall the product, and
perform a fresh install of the new version of the product. .
