[ UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS ]
========================================================================

To upgrade your WHMCS System, simply follow the instructions below.

1. Unzip the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer

2. If you have made any customisations to the following files, you
  should delete them from the new files before uploading

  - images/logo.jpg
  - includes/actionhooks.php
  - includes/additionaldomainfields.php
  - includes/pdfconfig.php
  - includes/whoisservers.php

3. Upload the files to your existing installation folder overwriting any
  existing files

4. Run the upgrade script at
  http://www.yourdomain.com/whmcs/install/install.php

  PLEASE REMEMBER: Before running any upgrade, you should always backup
  your database.

5. Once complete, delete the install folder from your web server.

6. It is important to always remember to update your templates. As you
  could be upgrading from any version, there could be numerous changes
  you need to make. For this update, the following template files
  have changed and may need updating:

  - creditcard.tpl
  - clientareahome.tpl
  - clientareaproducts.tpl
  - clientareadomains.tpl
  - clientareainvoices.tpl
  - clientareaemails.tpl
  - clientareaproductdetails.tpl
  - supportticketsubmit-steptwo.tpl
  - upgrade.tpl
  - upgradesummary.tpl
  - viewinvoice.tpl
  - templates/orderforms/ (ALL)

7. The upgrade is now complete.

========================================================================

Please Note: Unzipping with WinZip can cause problems. We recommend you
use either WinRAR or the Windows Built in Compressed Zip File manager.

========================================================================

NOTE: If you have made any modifications (for example changed some of the default templates) you may need to update these changes afterwards as the core files will be overwritten with the new files.
