[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am planning to upgrade my content server from 630 to 650, the challanges are , our  current server in windows 2000  ( IA 32 Bit)and Maxdb 7.3.0.35 . i want to bring into Windows 2008 R2 (64 Bit) MaXdb 7.8 .

my plan is do a inplace upgrade in current server from windows 2000 to Windows 2003 and perform inplace upgrade for maxdb7.3.0.35 to 7.5  and content server from 630 to 640 at one stage.

and next stage is install content server 650 maxdb 7.8 in windows 2008 R2 (64 Bit ), an do a system copy from source .

My questions are first stage will be fesible for me, in second stage do i face any issues ? will content server accept this bit change from 32 to 64 bit.

do i face any challanges in Maxdb Upgrade?

Regards,

Prem
