Why is there no upgrade installation path?
e directory structure has changed in version 7.x. e installation paths have changed and had to be adjusted.
e program path
\Programs\H+BEDV\AntiVir Exchange\
has been replaced by the path
\Programs\Avira\AntiVir Exchange\
It is necessary to uninstall the previously installed version of Avira AntiVir Exchange to make this change.
Once it has been uninstalled, version 7.x can be installed.
What do I have to consider when uninstalling?
1. Because of the required uninstallation of version 6.x, the content in the quarantine directories will become invalid. is means that emails in the quarantine are not migrated!
2. e license file can in some instances be deleted when uninstalling. e license file needs to be stored
before uninstalling to prevent this.
3. e existing configuration can be deleted when uninstalling. Store the configuration in a separate directory before starting to uninstall.
4. e stored license file and the stored configuration have to be imported after the reinstallation.
