Upgrade STA

To upgrade STA, you must deinstall the current STA version, install the new version, and then convert the existing data and database to the new schema.

You can perform the upgrade by using a single-server or two-server method. The method chosen affects the order of the steps in the upgrade.

Before proceeding, review all tasks in Prepare STA for the Upgrade.
