Upgrade from RoboHelp x5 to RoboHelp 9
Looking for advice/tips regarding a potential upgrade from RoboHelp x5 to RoboHelp 9.
Currently:
- 3-client RoboHelp x5 / 1-server RoboSource Control v2.3 (the version included with RoboHelp x5) environment
- all 4 machines run WinXP SP3
- 16 projects (a couple with over a thousand topics, most with hundreds of topics)
- all projects are under version control
- general project feature use:
- substantial use of drop-down links for text and images
- some use of jump links
- otherwise standard feature use (images, hyperlinks, CSS, topic templates)
- primary publish formats: .chm and printed doc (via MS Word 2003, the newest version that'll work with RH x5)
Projected upgrade path:
- replace all client/author WinXP machines with Win7 64-bit machines
- install RH 9 on new Win7 64-bit machines
- retain current WinXP SP3 RoboSource Control server machine
- uninstall RH x5 / RSC v2.3 from WinXP SP3 RoboSource Control server machine
- install RH 9 / RSC v3.1 on WinXP SP3 RoboSource Control server machine
- connect to existing version control databases via RSC 3.1
- create project working folders on all client/author RH 9 Win7 64-bit machines
