Upgrading a v7 Datacentre

Follow all the steps as for installing. You will need to enter the new serial number (and possibly user key) supplied with the upgrade.

File conversion from v7

Once installed, open the MoneyWorks Datacentre Console application, select the Folders tab, and click “Upgrade Files to v9”. This will convert files to v9 format. This may take some time if you have large files. Please be patient.

On successful conversion. the file extension (if any) will be .moneyworks. The old file will be renamed with”(archived)”. Files with “(archived)” in the name will no longer be considered for conversion. You can remove these archived files if you wish. The server will no longer access them.

Datacentre can work with MoneyWorks Cashbook and Express files as well as MoneyWorks Gold files (they all use the .moneyworks file type).
