Do not install the iFolder 3.8 client in the same application folder as a Novell iFolder 1.x or 2.x client.
The iFolder 3.8 client can coexist on the same workstation as the Novell iFolder 1.x client or 2.x client, with the following caveats:
The iFolder 3.8 client and its iFolders work only with the Novell iFolder 3.8 enterprise server.
The Novell iFolder 1.x or 2.x client and its iFolder on the workstation continue to work only with the assigned Novell iFolder server of the same release.
The single iFolder created with the iFolder 1.x or 2.x client can coexist with the multiple iFolders created with the iFolder 3.8 client. The iFolders function independently on the workstation; they do not exchange information or data. However, you can manually transfer local data between old and new iFolder folders.
You should not attempt to convert the Novell iFolder 1.x or 2.x folder to an iFolder to be managed by Novell iFolder 3.8 by any other means other than using the migration tool. Similarly, you should not convert parent folders of that iFolder to a next-generation iFolder.
For example, if abc is the parent directory of the xyz directory, you should not attempt to migrate abc to iFolder 3.8 while xyz still remains an iFolder of type 2.x or 1.x. In addition, you should not attempt to migrate xyz to iFolder 3.8 while abc still belongs to a 2.x or 1.x domain.
If the folder is no longer used by a prior version of the Novell iFolder client, such as after you uninstall the old client from the workstation, you can convert the folder or its parent folders to a next-generation iFolder.
