You must contact SOAPware BEFORE upgrading - the product will not work with a v5 License. It requires a SOAPware-2008 License. There
are numerous database changes to track document signatures and multiple
other changes to how security is managed. The new product packaging
information is also in the database.
The upgrade from v5 to SOAPware-2008 is one way. It is impossible to revert back to v5. Going from v5 (with PostgreSQL) to SOAPware 2008 is more similar to an update from one version of v4 to another version of v4. It more of an update that an upgrade. It is basically going from v5.1 to v5.2 with a changing of the naming convention and product packaging at the same time.There is no need for data conversion, nor the need to become familiar with a new interface.
Going from v5 (with MySQL) will require a data migration. Tools to accomplish this are in early production. Therefore, there may be some quirks that will only surface after there is more actual usage.
