Upgrading from older version

I have an application developed in Dreamweaver / Ultradev
version 4. This application continues to run on Server 2003 and has
not required any major changes in the last few years so we did not
upgrade the application.
However, we are now needing to make some changes to this
application and I am considering upgrading this web app to the
current version of Dreamweaver. This is a very basic application,
reading and writing to a database, using MM functions.
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts and/or experiences when
upgrading Dreamweaver application. Any "gotchas", "known issues",
or other suggestions that would simplify the upgrade. I will need
to estimate the amount of time to complete the upgrade so
information that you could share would be beneficial.
Thanks!

You're going a long way. Your recordsets would have to be
remade which
doesn't take long due to the 8.2 rewrite for protection from
SQL injection
attacks. You didn't specify the server model .. if it's Cold
Fusion, there
is a lot in DW to keep up with newer Cold Fusion. If ASP, not
that much is
different. You can now develop with PHP/MySql that you
couldn't in UD4.
Another big bonus for you would be all the CSS improvements
.. 3 rewrites
since UD4 .. you would be amazed at the difference in actual
design of the
site.

  • Upgrading from older version of iPhoto

    I recently installed the new OSX 10.4.6 on my iMac G4. I am running iTunes 6 just fine but I tried to install iPhoto 6 (I am somehow still running iPhoto2) and the installer process stoppe and said it couldnt install because there was "no eligible iPhoto application"
    I was told in the store that all you had to have was iTunes 6 and you could put pictures from iPhoto on the iPod (nano) but when I try it says my iphoto version wont support this.
    Do I have too old a version of iPhoto?
    Should there be a way to update iPhoto to 6 w/o buying iLife for 100 bucks?
    Help is appreciated
    thanks

    iPhoto 6 is only available thru the purchase of iLife 06. ITunes is free as it's really to get users to by music from the iTMS.
    The update package you tried to use will only work on iPhoto 6.0 or highter.
    If you look at the iPhoto 6 pages at Apple's site you'll see that it is very far advanced from the V2. And with Tiger it's even more so.
    The only way to get iLife 06 is either via purchase or with the purchase of a new Mac.
    You do not need iPhoto to put photos on your iPod. You can do it this way:
    1 - select the photos you want and export to a folder on your HD. I named mine "Nano Pics" and it's located in my Pictures folder.
    2 - with your iPod connected go to the iTunes preferences for the iPod. There under the Photos section you can choose any folder on the HD as the source of the photos for the iPod. Navigate to your folder and select it.
    When you want to add or remove photos do it via iPhoto exports and the Finder.

  • Will Lightroom and Photoshop CC work with Indesign/Illustrator/etc from older versions of CS installed on my Mac?

    if I subscribe to the Photo plan, will Lightroom and Photoshop CC output work with Indesign/Illustrator/etc from older versions of CS installed on my Mac?

    I currently have premiere cs4 and cs5 installed and have had no problems. I have noted on the forums here that some people were reporting problems. So the only way to realy know is make the plunge. I'm running win 7 pro.

  • Upgrading from Trial version to Developer Edition

    We installed SQL server 2014 trial edition in 2014 and the trial period just expired. No longer access SQL server 2014. Also in 2014 I purchased the SQL server 2014 Developer Edition.
    I go in the maintenance section of SQL server 2014 and try to upgrade by entering my product key and get an error message that my product key is not valid. I called Microsoft and two different employees confirmed my product key is good.
    Should I be able to upgrade from Trial version to Developer Edition by simply entering my product key?
    Thank you

    Hi cguay01,
    As other post, you should be able to upgrade from Trial Edition to Developer Edition by entering product key from SQL Server setup wizard, you can follow the steps in this similar
    blog. You can also use the following command lines to upgrade SQL Server 2014 Trial to a full version.
    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=<MSSQLSERVER or instancename> /PID=<PID key for new edition>" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    According to your description, the issue that “product key is not valid” might be caused by several reasons such as corrupted installation file, antivirus scanning and so on. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this issue.
    1. Please ensure that your SQL Server installation file is not corrupted. If you are using ISO download, please copy the content of the ISO image to the local disk on your computer and upgrade SQL Server from there.
    2. Make sure you use corresponding license key matched the edition and version of SQL Server.
    3. Make sure that you don’t exceed the limit of allowed activations of the product key.
    4. Turn off any Anti-virus software when upgrading SQL Server.
    There is also a similar thread for your reference.

  • Upgrading from old versions

    A colleague and I have just received new PC's. They came with
    Microsoft Office 2003 pre-installed. Previously we were using
    Robohelp 2002 with MS Office 97. When I tried to install RH2002 on
    our new PC's it failed as the new MS Office was incompatible. So,
    we purchased upgrades to RH6. When I tried to install the upgrades
    that fails because we don't have an old version of RoboHelp
    installed. The installer prompts for a serial number/key for RH X5,
    which we don't have. I spoke to Adobe Tech support who said I
    needed to talk to Customer Support, who said I should talk to Tech
    Support......
    At the moment I can't install my old RH because of MS Office
    2003, so I can't upgrade to RH6 which I need to support MS Office
    2003. Has anyone ecountered a similar problem in the past? What it
    Adobe provide as the solution?
    TIA
    Mick Mathers

    They don't have X5 Colum.
    Mick, you could be in trouble here. You can upgrade from any
    version. I am not sure if you have to go via Support if it is
    earlier than X5 but the issue here is that you don't have your 2002
    serial number to start with. The link below tells you what to do
    but because your version is outside the parameters, it maybe that
    Adobe cannot help you if you did not register.

  • Why can't I upgrade from older full version?

    Hi, I am seeing "full" versions of CS3 and 4 on sale for low prices but some say you cannot upgrade from these. I've never heard of this before. Is this because of the low pricing or does Adobe sell "special" full versions that don't allow you to upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Heh.  Do a Google Maps street view of the place where they say they are.  They don't actually have a storefront that I can see, but even if they did, take a good look at that place...  Do you think you could walk into any place there and buy legitimate software?  I'd be fearing for my life, frankly.
    The reason you can't upgrade is that the serial number (if you even get one) is pirated and Adobe's no fool.  They're not going to accept them for upgrade!  Simple as that!

  • Trying to install cs3, says i am upgrading from another version but i am not

    i am trying to install the creative suite package from the disc. my dad gave it to me because he is not using it anymore. so after installing and entering serial number, the next window says the serial number i entered indicates that i am upgrading from a previous version of creative suite and i need to enter that serial number, but i am not upgrading. this is the only version i have-- from the disc. and my dad did not have an older version-- only this one. help!

  • Problem with imported pdfs from older version

    I'm working in CS4. The InDesign document I'm working on was originally done in an older version of InDesign (not sure which). It contains imported pdfs that were created in CS2 and CS3. When I export to pdf the older imported pdfs don't display properly on my client's PC - the type is not there, only boxes with question marks - but the pdf looks fine on my screen. I upgraded from CS2 to CS4. The only way I've gotten around this is to export the CS4 InDesign document as an .INX file, have a friend open it up in CS3 and save down to an .INX file again, open the doc up in CS2, create the pdf from CS2, and open it in the older version of Acrobat. Then my client sees the type clearly on their PC
    I'm using Suitcase (thought it was a font issue, but I don't think so now as the fix seemed to be between the CS versions.
    Anyone else have this problem and/or a better solution? I'd like to be able to simply export a pdf and be done with it.
    Thanks!

    Thats it thank you!
    There was a text wrap applied to all the graphics. its working perfectly now!!

  • Is it possible to upgrade from Student version Lightroom 3 to a private Lightroom 5?

    I'm trying to find out if I can upgrade from my student version of Lightroom 3 to a private version of Lightroom 5, or do I have to buy the whole version of Lightroom 5? I would like to be sure about which to buy before I make a purchase and obviously make a saving if I can just purchase the upgrade.

    You can simply buy the upgrade, no need to buy the complete version.

  • How to tell if Yosemite is clean install or upgrade from previous version

    My brand new MacBook Pro arrived last week, with Yosemite already installed on it.
    Having issues with WiFi (after coming out of sleep mode, mbp keeps its self-assigned address rather than getting an address though DHCP or using its old address), I was searching for support on the matter, and one of the solutions often suggested was doing a clean install of Yosemite if the mbp was upgraded from 10.9.
    Seeing that the mbp arrived with Yosemite pre-installed, I'm guessing that it is a clean install, but I'm not sure.
    I wonder if there is a way in telling if the OS was upgraded to the current major version, or if it's a clean install? Even if Apple only ships clean installs, it would be helpful to know if I need to give support to one of the mac-users in our company if it's a clean install or not.

    On my system, the Yosemite upgrade (performed on Oct. 23) left quite a bit of residue that would not be present after a clean install.  The most obvious examples are in /var/db/receipts, which contains BOM files for all of the software installed via the Mac OS installer, e.g.,

  • Jdbc thin driver 8.1.7 and views from older versions of oracle

    Config:
    Windows 2000 | jdk 1.3.1 | oracle's latest jdbc driver 8.1.7,
    also tried 9.0.1 (classes12.zip), using thin driver
    I try to select,using a PreparedStatment, from a view on Oracle
    8.1.7, the view is linked to a table on Oracle 7.2.2.3.
    I get different results when running the same query, I use an
    older version of the driver to connect to the older version of
    Oracle(classes111.zip), on the table directly and on the view.
    This seems to be predominantly present when dealing with
    integers.
    Any comments or help would be appreciated.

    I have found a workaround to this problem.
    The only way, that I have been able to determine, of resolving
    this issue is to use a Statement, not a PreparedStatement, which
    causes problems for some reason. I figure there's a bug in
    Oracle's JDBC layer.
    Maybe this will help someone...maybe not :)

  • Import vault from older version

    I have a vault created on an old Mac Book (this has died and is not accessible to me) that I need to restore onto a different computer with Aperture 3.0 on it.
    i have tried to restore the vault but get an error that the vault was created with and older version and to import the vault instead. I click import and get the very (un)helpful error message that Aperture was unable to find the necessary information to import the vault.... and nothing.. that's it, no further clue.
    How can I import this vault?
    Regards
    Chris

    Kirby, Thanks - I can't upgrade to 3.3.1 because according to the download page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1553 that version required OS X 10.7.4 or later. I have OS X 10.6.8 and my version of Aperture is 3.1.2 which I think is as up to date as I can get on that version of OSX. The last time I checked for software updates nothing was download for Aperture as I recall, a couple of months ago.
    I can't update that computer (a Mac Mini) again at the moment because it doesn't have internet access. It is installed on a boat, in a marina in deepest darkest Uruguay. I can only get internet access by lugging a laptop (windows) somewhere. I certainly can't upgrade to OS X Lion.
    Anyway I tried to follow your instructions with what I have and these are the dialogues that I received.
    I created the new library
    Then did File - Vault - Restore Library ( note that Restore vault is not an option)
    I choose to restore the library
    I then get the error message
    "Photos 1 backup" was created by an older version of Aperture, and can not be restored by this version.
    To import the contents of the vault,select the import button
    I click import, and receive this error message
    Library import error
    The library connot be imported because some the data required for import could not be found
    The file is on a hard drive which according to the info is "Mac OS extended (journaled)"
    Hmmmm just noticed that if I get the info for the vault file it shows as only 4k... is that just showing the folder size or is the vault empty?
