novo Upgrade Procedure

Before you Upgrade

• Backup your Novo directory and Novo database
• Unzip the patch file into the folder c:\novo-patch
  • If your upgrade is more than a single step out of date then you may unzip all appropriate patches from lowest version number to highest allowing each subsequent extract to overwrite existing files. This will have the net effect of creating a cumulative patch directory for your specific install. This allows you to perform a signle copy and SQL update cycle.
