We recommend all users install and use the latest version of SMART. NOTE: Upgrading a large database may take a while (10-15 minutes for a database with ~800,000 waypoints). If your reports reference a large number of queries this may take a while. You can do this for a particular report when it fails, or you can login to your Conservation Area, open the reports perspective, select all your reports, then right click and use the Update Report Query Bindings menu.

It will be necessary to update query bindings for reports in your Conservation Area. At this point the backup will be upgraded and restored. You will be asked if you want to upgrade (and restore) – select ‘Yes’. A prompt will appear, warning that the backup file is not compatible with the current software version. Follow the wizard, and when asked to select a backup file to restore, pick the file created in step 1 above. On the login screen, select the ‘Advanced’ option, then the ‘Restore a Backup’ option. If you are going to install it in the same location as your previous version, you must delete the previous version first. Backup your existing SMART database using the ‘File -> Backup System’ menu option.

To upgrade to SMART 6x from previous versions of SMART 3-6: 1.
