Kodak Proofing Software upgrade scenarios
The version 8.2 3 software installer supports upgrading from version 5.2 or later.
...
- From version 5.2 or 6x: Upgrade directly to version 8.23.
- From version 4x, 5.0, or 5.1: First upgrade directly to version 5.2 to migrate and prepare the data, and then upgrade directly to version 8.23.
- Upgrades from legacy versions (3.3 or earlier) are no longer supported. If you want to attempt upgrading a legacy version, see portal answer 68053 for self-serve information and downloads that may help.

- When a Kodak Proofing Software upgrade is installed beside an existing version, copies of the existing proofing settings and data are automatically migrated to the new installation. The migration process reformats the data as needed to be compatible with the upgrade and automatically adds default settings for any new features.
- The version 8.2 3 installer can be used to upgrade and reuse data only from version 5.2 or later. To ensure data compatibility if upgrading from an earlier version, upgrade first to version 5.2 and then to 8.23.
- Before any major system changes, always create a complete KPS data backup.
- Disk space requirements depend on the amount of data involved.
- If space permits, the earlier version may remain installed alongside the upgrade.
- If there is not enough disk space, the upgrade will fail.
