Upgrade from 4.2 to 4.5 AppV

Question
-
Hi All
We are currently working with Softgrid 4.2 with terminal services.
We're looking to upgrade VAS and Clients to 4.5 from 4.2, at what point do I need to upgrade my sequencer to 4.5 and how will that affect any sequencing I might be doing while the project's between versions?
Many thanks in advance

Hi All
Thanks for the previous reply
Now wondering if going onto APPV 4.6 would be better for us
Anything concrete on upgrading to APPV 4.6 from Softgrid 4.2? All the forums are very vague and nothing seems to have been tried and tested throroughly. Has anyone been through this process at this level?
Will we have to resequence our 4.2 sequences if we upgrade, do the osd's require modifying etc
Would appreciate any feedback

Whether or not you need to resequence will depend on each package - you will need to test. You may find that all of your packages work, or that some of them require upgrading in the 4.6 sequencer.
SFT Encoder is available for batch upgrading older packages to the newer 4.6 format: http://www.gridmetric.com/products/sftencoder.html
