Upgrade issues

You should consider the listed issues when performing an upgrade.

Upgrading to release 10.3.4 requires a new activation. See Activating D3 to activate the D3 license for a multi-user environment.

Removing files from a previous installation

Note: You should back up the old files or move them to another directory prior to using the tar utility for new files.

If a previous release of D3 has been loaded, D3 installation files might still be present in the /tmp directory. These are the files loaded from media with the tar command. These files must be removed before a new release of D3 is loaded.

Note: The specific directory to which the D3 installation files are loaded is the decision of the person performing the installation. The /tmp directory is the most common and is used for reference in this document.

To check for and remove old D3 files, enter:

 cd /tmp
 ls -l D3*
 rm D3*

Third-party products that use assembly code

You must obtain a new copy of any third-party product that uses assembly code. For example, Accuplot, PowerComm, Jet, and so on. Third-party products that use assembly code must be reassembled with the D3 10.3.4 assembler. All custom code needs to be reassembled.
