Upgrade from Console 2.0 and EM 1.3 to V4?

TechSupp

Just found out that our AV was not updating due to it being out of date so just a few questions on an upgrade:

Can I just install V4 as an upgrade (i.e. not uninstalling the existing version) to the versions we have mentioned in the title?

How much extra disk space will the new version take as our drive that it is installed on has only 1.2Gb of free space (we only need to protect XP versions and the server 2003 itself)

If we do not have enough disk space on the current drive can I install it to another disk on the same server but still migrate settings etc and allow the same clients to connect to it without any further intervention?

Would I be better just uninstalling Sophos altogether due to space requirements and install brand new on the drive with more space (we do not have complex policies just if virus found delete etc). Would this require me to do anything with the client PC's or will they just be picked up by the new install and updated accordingly?

Sorry if these seem to be silly or simple questions but looked searched the site for answers and can't seem to see the wood for the trees! Information overload!

Thanks

    Thanks for the info, yes I am not an expert hence all the questions :smileyhappy:

    Nothing is complex about out setup, single group set up for all PC's and simple policies

    • I do have one school on console 3.1.0 so first question can that just be an upgrade over the top (plenty of space on this server)
    • The other three schools are on 2.0 (we never get told about version upgrades untill something like this happens!) so I presume with the small server space I would be better off uninstalling the current versions and installing the latest.
    • Will uninstalling and installing the latest version cause me any work on the clients i.e. uninstalling the current one or will they just update to the latest version automatically when they update?
    • When is v4,5 due out as I see no point in going to 4 then to 4.5

    Thanks
