How do I upgrade my version 3.x Site Edition to version 4.x?

Version 3.x DialOut/EZ clients are able to receive licenses from a version 4.x License Manager.  This makes the task of upgrading your Site Edition from version 3.x to 4.x simple and non-disruptive.
1.  Before you begin
 
Make sure that you have administrator rights on the License Manager machine and that you are working directly on the machine (don't use a Terminal Services or Remote Desktop session).

2.  Upgrade the License Manager:
 
Uninstall the version 3.x License Manager and then install the latest 4.x version of the License Manager on the same machine.   Launch the License Manager Management Console, and then enter the licensing information by right clicking the DialOut/EZ License Manager icon and choosing licensing.  This process should take no more than 5 minutes and afterwards all the 3.x clients will be able to access the new License Manager machine in the same way as they did before.

3.  Upgrade the DialOut/EZ clients
 
Now the version 3.x DialOut/EZ clients can be upgraded at your leisure.  The 4.x code can be installed directly on top of the 3.x code.  The 4.x installer will detect the 3.x code, uninstall it, but leave all your settings in place.  After the installer finishes, the 4.x client will have the same redirected COM ports and settings as the 3.x client did.
