Upgrading from 4.6.00 to 4.7.00

You do not have to manually uninstall a previous version of the license utility before upgrading from version 4.6.00 to version 4.7.00. The installation process will automatically upgrade to the new version.
When upgrading, run the installer as an administrator user. During the installation process, you will have the option ("No to All") to maintain the deployment settings from the previous version, or overwrite them in the new version. See Installing.
When upgrading, you will not need to enter a password in the One-time Install Key field (it will automatically update from version 4.6.00).
