2.WinRoute Engine Monitor is available in English only.
2.6 Upgrade and Uninstallation
In this chapter you can find a description of WinRoute upgrade within the versions 5.x and 6.x (i.e. upgrade from the 5.1.10 version to the 6.3.0 version or from 6.3.0 to 6.3.1). Direct upgrade from 4.x versions or earlier to the 6.x version is not supported.
Simply run the installation of a new version to upgrade WinRoute (i.e. to get a new release from the Kerio Web pages — http://www.kerio.com/).
All windows of the Kerio Administration Console must be closed before the (un)installation is started. All of the three WinRoute components will be stopped and closed automatically.
The installation program detects the directory with the former version and updates it by replacing appropriate files with the new ones automatically. License, all logs and user defined settings are kept safely.
