1 Replies and 71774 Views and 0 Subscribers 9.0 application upgrade question  71774  1  0 Started by  Roger French When you upgrade to 9.0 applications, do you already have to have the 9.0 applications separately installed Or do the 8.1 to 9.0 Upgrade programs do that for you Trying to clarify... the 8.1 to 9.0 Upgrade manuals say that you need to have the 9.0 applications already installed prior to doing the upgrade, but I'm gathering that the upgrade process also upgrades the 8.1 programs to 9.0. If that's so, why would you also need the 9.0 applications already installed TIA, -R

0 Replies and 3529 Views and 1 Subscribers Any Upgrade Issues Encountered  3529  0  1 Started by  Didi My company will be upgrading from version 7 to 9, which is a significant upgrade, and there is some concern about unanticipated and/or serious issues to be encountered during and after the upgrade. The concerns are mainly from a user standpoint. We are curious as to what other users have experienced - good or bad - after upgrading. We are interested in finding out how others have dealt with these issues.

I would like to know how much time would be involved in upgrading to MSP 9.0.1.5 from 9.0.0.7 We have some time constraints so I'm just trying to determine if we should do it now or later in the year when we're not so constrained. How difficult is the process as I'm fairly new to the world of Lawson and never performed an MSP upgrade

I was looking to see if anyone had advice on an annual upgrade plan for the Infor software Example, how often do you upgrade MSCM, S3, Smart Office, etc Do you have an estimate of time it typically takes to do each upgrade (testing and implementation).  Thanks in advance! Shannon

Can someone point me to a doc that says if a seperate ADFS server is a requirement for Ming.le version 11 or if it is just a recommendation
