Upgrading Existing Libraries

If you open a JET Library database created with an earlier version of Author-it, it will be converted to the latest version, and a backup will be created in the same folder as the library with "Backup of " prepended to the original filename. The upgrade process may take a while if your library is large - this is normal. Do not succumb to the temptation to stop or reset Author-it.

SQL Server:

If using SQL Server, the library will not be backed up automatically. You are strongly advised to export the database to JET first, or follow your normal backup procedure prior to upgrading the Library.

Run Library Compact After Library Upgrade

We recommend that you compact your Library after it is upgraded, which can free up significant space.
