Migration
Upgrading Visual Inspect client is optional. However, to get the full benefit of the
features and performance of the G06.31 Visual Inspect server and client, you must
upgrade to Visual Inspect client version 3.3
Fallback
Problems can occur when reverting to a previous version of the Visual Inspect client
after upgrading to the new client along with the new server. In some cases, new
persistent information is not handled properly by older versions of the client. If this is a
concern, you should save a copy of the original VISINSP.INI file, located in the
c:\Windows directory. You can use this copy to ensure a smooth fallback, if fallback
becomes necessary.
