Upgrading to Version 8

When upgrading VirtualDJ 8 from prior versions, the default application path stays the same and the

application configuration, plug-in, skins, database files, and support files are copied to the appropriate

location listed above.

Upgrading from version 3 or Prior

VirtualDJ 8 will not carry forward any existing information from your current setup. You will have to

analyze and set cue points after adding your collection to the new database.

Upgrading from version 4

If possible, you should have your complete Gig Ready setup connected before running the latest

version for the first time. This will give VirtualDJ 8 the ability to build the appropriate database files

using the information from the previous version database files.

Upgrading from version 5
