4. If an existing Cisco TMS database is found on the specified SQL server, a prompt asks whether you
want to re-use the existing database. If the database is an older version and you select Yes, Cisco
TMS automatically updates the existing database to the current version and retains the existing
information. If you choose No, the installer quits and you must manually remove the database from the
SQL server if you wish to use that SQL Server. Read Upgrading From a Previous Cisco TMS Version
before proceeding with an upgrade to ensure you are prepared for any additional steps or changes that
must be performed based on your previous Cisco TMS version.
