Migrating from V3 to V6

buckerooni,

Just about completed (after 7 months of phone calls with Adobe) a conversion from X3 clients & server. Clients upgrade - smooth sailing. Server upgrade - there is a problem with the licensing.
An upgrade from pre-X5 to 6 requires an X4 key which we never received or used. Adobe does not have the ability to generate an X4 key due to eHelp, Macromedia, Adobe buyout & loss of technical information. If you purchase an upgrade, you are stuck in limbo with Adobe being transferred from department to department (around the globe?) for an eternity (or at least it feels like it).
I don't wish to publish the person's contact info online, but send me a private message or call with your contact info, and I'll hook you up. This person (yes at Adobe - let's be legitimate here) can "do what it takes" to get you running.

Side: I've got 1 outstanding issue just discovered today. Built new server from scratch Win Server 2003 SP2 and getting "Server does not support any authentication method." error. Strange - can authenticate for Source Code Control just fine???

OK, I only have the configuration manager on under the configuration manager help section '3.00.022 Copyright 2001-2002 eHelp Corporation'. I'll confirm with one of the authors about the client, but it sounds like X3...good news!

Hi Rick,

Indeed Version 3 circa 2002 ! Hence why I was wondering if there was a migration path. Otherwise I'd like to know what is required to get the projects into V6.

Cheers,

cam.

Hi Cam

Is there much change with the client?

Are you certain you are using version 3 and not "X3"? 3 would be terribly old indeed, but one never knows. If it's X3, odds are that you will simply open your projects in version 6 and off you go with minimal fuss.

Cheers... Rick
