Note to Individuals Upgrading from Earlier
Versions: If you are upgrading from a previous release of Enterprise Guide
software, and if you have existing definitions for servers, libraries, and
users that you want to preserve, then you must back up your current repository
before uninstalling Enterprise Guide software. If you have such definitions,
then you created them by using the Administrator application, which you can run
again by selecting the Start menu, then Programs, then The SAS
System, and finally Administrator.
