Upgrading
from AlarmTraq version 6.0(or higher) to AlarmTraq version 7.3
This procedure will use your existing
SQL Connection and database to work with version 7.3
Upgrading an earlier (SQL Server based) version of AlarmTraq such as version
6.0, 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, or 7.2 required several initial steps in order to install
correctly. If you are upgrading from AlarmTraq version 5.3 or older, click

Step 1: Backup your existing AlarmTraq folder (\Program
Files\AlarmTraq\) to a safe location (desktop or temporary directory).
Some files may need to be

files may include custom logo files from the \Web folder, or email
templates from the \Templates folder.
Step 2: Uninstall AlarmTraq using Windows Control Panel >
Add/remove Programs.

to a temporary directory on your server. In this example we created a new folder
in the root of the C drive named
