To run release R4.2 and all later releases of the V3000 system software on
your system, you must have and install a license. A license key is required
only for upgrading to major releases, RX.X. All minor releases, RX.X.X,
use the corresponding major release license key. All systems that are
shipped from the factory with software release R4.2 or any later release,
include a license for the software version that is shipped with the system.
Upgrading to R4.2 From a Previous Release
To upgrade a system to release R4.2 first upgrade to release R4.1.
Upgrading From R4.1.14 and Prior Releases
If your system software is release R4.1.14 or a previous release, you
cannot enter the license key for R4.2 before you upgrade because the
system software will not recognize the R4.2 license as valid.
Use these steps to upgrade to R4.2:
license, click the License button and install the R4.2 license.
If you decide not to install the R4.2 license key, you can click the Reboot
button and select a different release.
