CHAPTER 2
Preparing to Upgrade 
This chapter provides instructions about the preparatory tasks you need to complete before you 
start the upgrade process from Macromedia Breeze version 4.1 to version 5. This chapter provides 
detailed information about the following phases of the upgrade process:
Overview
Breeze 5 incorporates the upgrade process into the Installer and the Application Management 
Console. These tools, with their graphical user interfaces, guide you through the upgrade from 
Breeze 4.1 to Breeze 5. This is the only direct upgrade path that this version supports.
If you are upgrading from a version of Breeze earlier than version 4.1, you must upgrade to each 
successive version; for example:
To upgrade from Breeze 4, you must follow this two-phase upgrade procedure:
a
Upgrade from Breeze 4 to Breeze 4.1.
b
Install Breeze 5 to upgrade to Breeze 5.
Macromedia does not support a direct upgrade from Breeze 4 to Breeze 5.
To upgrade from a version of Breeze earlier than 4, administrators should contact Breeze 
Support before proceeding. 
When you contact Support, you need to have available the Breeze License Certificate from 
Macromedia that came with the product. This certificate contains a unique serial number that 
identifies you as a Macromedia customer and authorizes your installation and use of Breeze 5.
