The information in this article applies to:

• ZoomText 9.00 through 9.01.1

To update a ZoomText 9.0 network license from version 9.00 to 9.02, you must update the ZoomText network server and each of the ZoomText network clients. This document provides instructions for completing the 9.02 update.

Before you begin the update process, you will need the following information about your existing ZoomText network installation:

• ZoomText network license serial number
• Computer that hosts the existing network server
• Share name for the folder containing the network server. This is the folder that contains \ZT9ClientSetup

To Update the ZoomText Network Server

1. Insert the ZoomText 9.02 Network License CD into the CD-ROM drive.

   The ZoomText Server Setup program will start automatically.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. You will be prompted to enter the following information:
   
   • ZoomText network license serial number
   • The share name for the folder that contains the existing ZoomText network server (in UNC format or as a mapped drive).

After you enter the share name, a dialog will appear informing you that the folder is not empty and that the contents will be overwritten. Overwriting the contents is intended, so it is ok to continue.

3. If ZoomText's roaming configurations were enabled in your existing network installation, you will need to re-enable support for roaming configurations according to the instructions in the ZoomText 9.0 Network Installation Guide ("see "Roaming Configurations").

Note: After the ZoomText network server has been updated, each client installation must be updated within 5 days or 15 executions, whichever comes first. During this period, each ZoomText client will run in Disconnect Mode. After the allotted days or executions are exceeded, the client must be updated in order to use ZoomText again.

If Server Setup does not start automatically

Click on the Windows Start button and select Run...

• Browse to your CD-ROM drive.
• Select the Setup.exe program and click Open .
• Click OK in the Run dialog box.

To Update the ZoomText Network Clients

After you have updated the ZoomText network server, update each ZoomText network client by following the client installation procedure in the ZoomText 9.0 Network Installation Guide (see "Installing the Network Client").
