Evaluating Siebel Anywhere as an Upgrade or Delivery Method

Siebel Anywhere is suitable for delivering many kinds of software, including many software upgrades, but it is not suitable for delivery of some types of software and some types of upgrades. Observe the following guidelines:

• Use Siebel Anywhere only with software that is related to the use of Siebel Business Applications.
• Do not use Siebel Anywhere for major Siebel release upgrades, such as upgrading a database schema from Siebel 6 to Siebel 7.
• Do not use Siebel Anywhere to upgrade from Siebel 7.0.x to Siebel 7.5.x, Siebel 7.7.x, or Siebel 7.8.x.
