What Is PC-NFS Upgrade

When you start to install the PC-NFSpro software, its Setup program searches for a previously installed version of the PC-NFS software and informs you if it finds one. When a previously installed version of PC-NFS exists, the Setup program can retrieve the license number from the PCNFS.SYS file and convert this license number for use by the PC-NFSpro software.

The PC-NFSpro software supplies a utility, called PC-NFS Upgrade, that transfers most existing PC-NFS configuration information to PC-NFSpro. This utility also disables or removes an existing PC-NFS software installation.

The information PC-NFS Upgrade transfers includes:

PC name

PC IP address

Name service information

HOSTS file contents

Netmask value

Default gateway

PC-NFS Upgrade cannot transfer:

LAN Adapter type and settings

Time zone information
