During the installation process, pcAnywhere automatically scans for a previous
version. If you are installing pcAnywhere on a computer that has pcAnywhere
10.x or later, pcAnywhere confirms whether you want to preserve existing
configuration data before installing over the previous version. How pcAnywhere
handles the data conversion process depends on your operating system and the
version of pcAnywhere that is installed.
If you are installing pcAnywhere on a computer that has a version of pcAnywhere
earlier than 10.x, pcAnywhere prompts you to uninstall it. This removes all
pre-existing configuration data. Configuration data from these versions cannot
be converted or preserved.
For more information about planning a migration and upgrade strategy, see the
Symantec pcAnywhere Administrator's Guide.
During the installation process, you might be required to restart the computer.
If so, after the computer restarts, you must log on again using the same user
credentials to ensure proper functionality.
If you are installing a packaged version of pcAnywhere, installation procedures
might vary.
See "Installing a custom version" on page 42.
