Rational DOORS version 9.5 and earlier releases of version 9

When you upgrade to the Rational® DOORS® version 9.5 client or database server from an earlier release of version 9, the earlier version is removed from your computer. You do not need to update both the client and database server at the same time. You can run a 9.5 database server with a client that is an earlier release of version 9.

By default, version 9.5 is installed into a new directory named \IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.5. After a successful installation, the earlier version is removed.

You cannot install version 9.5 into the same directory as your current installation.

After the installation, if you click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational, the IBM Rational DOORS 9.5 menu option is displayed.

Important: If you customized the addins.idx file, before you upgrade, back up the file. When you upgrade to version 9.5, the current version of the addins.idx file is overwritten.

Licensing

If you are running version 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, or 9.4 and have a valid maintenance agreement, you do not need a new software license for version 9.5.
