5.0 Upgrading from Storage Manager 4.x for Active Directory to 5.0

The upgrade from Storage Manager 4.x for Active Directory to Storage Manager 5.0 for Active Directory should be performed as an in-place upgrade. The version 5.0 Engine is backward compatible with version 4.x components. While it is not necessary to upgrade them, we encourage you to do so.

The installation of the version 5.0 Engine requires updates to the SQL Server database used by the Engine. The Configuration Utility will display a warning indicating if the database needs to be updated.
