You can perform an in-place upgrade from Dynamic File Services 2.1 to Dynamic File Services 2.2. A computer restart is required. For information, see Section 5.0, Upgrading to Dynamic File Services 2.2.
A computer restart is not required if you uninstall the old product (making sure to keep the existing program data files), then install the new product.

After the reinstallation, you must register a license key, and perform the verification tasks described in Section 5.5, Post-Upgrade Changes and Tasks. For information about uninstalling the product, see Section B.0, Using the Uninstall Tool to Modify, Repair, or Remove Dynamic File Services.
