STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR XPHONE SOFTWARE

Install the software. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.

Note: If you wish to upgrade XPhone UC or XPhone Corporate, the XPhone Connect software must be installed on a new separate system.

Under no circumstances should you run a hardware swap! 

This would mean that your upgrade licences could no longer be allocated to your system.

2. Determine MAC address and/or hardware ID

Upgrading your XPhone software requires the MAC address and/or hardware ID of the system to be upgraded. Only then is it possible to allocate your upgrade licences to your XPhone system.

Determine the MAC address (physical address) by opening the command line on your current system and entering the following command:

ipconfig /all

Please note the MAC address. This is required for allocating your new licences to the existing system. Without it, an upgrade is not possible.
