Upgrading from V7 to V8 Beta

Post by jdkdomain »

Currently running latest V7 software and looking to install V8 Beta. Will Beta recognize existing V7 version and bring over existing settings or should I allow WU to finish and pause and uninstall and install new V8 Beta?

Thanks for your help.

Only a few settings will be picked up.
Mainly user, team, passkey, cause.

WUs will not transfer. Please set slots to finish and then manually pause before upgrading.

You do not need to uninstall.

If you are running on Linux, you can optionally purge v7 after installing v8.
