With the current upgrade process, you can upgrade any Document Capture version from 3.50.07 onward directly to version 4.50, but from Document Capture 4.50 you must perform a stepped upgrade in order to upgrade to Document Capture 8.00, meaning that you must go through all versions in between.

  2. Upgrade from 4.50 to 5.00
  3. Upgrade from 5.00 to 5.50
  4. Upgrade from 5.50 to 6.00

  7. Upgrade from 7.00 to 8.00

With the new upgrade process, you'll be able to upgrade from any version of Document Capture starting with 3.50.07 to Document Capture 8.00 in just two steps.

For example, if you want to upgrade from Document Capture 3.50.07 to 8.00, you'll only have to:
