Upgrade Notes
Prior implementations of CAD 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 supported the use of flat files 
or Microsoft SQL Server as the data store. Flat files are no longer supported 
with CAD 10.0. Customers who are upgrading to CAD 10.0 from a previous 
version of CAD using flat files must migrate to SQL Server 2008 R2 as the 
data store.
It is recommended that you upgrade the CAD base services only when no CAD 
users (agents, supervisors, and administrators) are logged into the system. If 
users are logged in, they might receive error messages when the services go 
offline during the upgrade.
During an upgrade, the CAD desktop clients and CAD base servers must all be 
at the same version. CAD desktop clients and CAD base servers must also be 
at the same major and minor release version as the PG, CTI server, and 
Windows
