Please review the System Requirements help page to make sure your platform has the necessary underlying component versions to support this version of Unanet.
Please review the compatibility matrix for supported Unanet versions.
Should you need to update your database version you will want to do this prior to running the Unanet migration.
The process of updating your SQL Server database involves the creation of a backup of the database in the older version and then a restore of that file in the newer database version.
Java Memory Parameter Tuning -- Unanet 10.0 and up will require you to increase several memory related parameters in order to function properly. See Required Java Tuning for more information.
