Planning Your Installation

Decide where to install the packages supplied with the Java Dynamic Management Kit, and ensure your machines meet the installation requirements.

Upgrading from Previous Versions

If you are upgrading your Java Dynamic Management Kit from versions 3.0, 3.2, or 4.0, you are not required to uninstall the earlier version. Version 4.1 has a different installation structure that allows both old and new versions of the product to coexist on the same machine.

However, if you are reinstalling version 4.1 of the Java Dynamic Management Kit, you should first remove your previous installation. This procedure is described in "Removing or Reinstalling the Product Software". Then you may proceed to reinstall the current version.
