Process of Completing Upgrade Kit Creation

The remaining three steps in the process of creating an upgrade kit are activating, applying, and distributing the upgrade kit.

To complete upgrade kit creation, perform the following tasks:

1. "Activating an Upgrade Kit". This step gathers all the files for the upgrade and creates a single compressed archive file.

2. "Applying an Upgrade Kit". This step updates the compiled information string in the database with the new version information. If you have not already done so, then, during this step, you indicate whether or not an upgrade kit will be required.

3. "Distributing Upgrade Kits". This step makes the upgrade kit available to designated subscribers as either a required or an optional upgrade kit, depending on your selection in Step 2 of this process.
