Update From Previous Versions

If you already have a previously-installed VirtualMetric version, there are several things you have to consider before updating to the current one. See the Hardware Requirements and Software Requirements sections for details.

We recommend that you always keep a proper backup of your VirtualMetric Database before performing the update.
