Upgrade Summary

The Upgrade Summary screen presents a summary of the options you have specified so far:

Space Requirements: The disk space required to upgrade the product. The space requirement appears in a different color if the disk space available is less than what is required.

Note:
The space requirements shown on this screen do not include the space required in the target database.
The space requirements shown on this screen also might differ slightly from the actual space the component occupies on the installation disk.
