Important: The Metasys Server
is offline from when you uninstall the software to when you finish the upgrade or
reinstallation. Be aware that if your historical databases are over 500 MB, the upgrade may take
several hours to complete. Consider using the Metasys Database Manager or SQL Server software
tools to purge your historical database prior to an upgrade. Refer to the

Note: The Metasys Server software must be
able to communicate with the SQL Server databases during the uninstallation process.
