• Verify that you are currently using Version 6. 
• Make a backup copy of the entire /banmanpro/ folder on your web server as well as the SQL database.  This upgrade will alter the database.

Installation Instructions

1. Extract the upgrade files contained in banmanproSQL8UpgradeFrom6.zip  to a temporary location on your local computer.  You will now see several folders including RootDirectory, Admin, Images, Advertiser, and Bin.
    
2. From within SQL Query Analyzer, execute the script called banmanproSQL8UpgradeFrom6.sql on your existing Ban Man Pro database.  The database is now converted to the new format.  If you are unsure how to do this, please review Steps 5-7 of the original database instructions found at: support/SQLnewdb.asp and noting that in step 5 the SQL script is named banmanproSQL8UpgradeFrom6.sql.
   
   Note: If you receive the error below it is not fatal and can be ignored...BMP_proc_ObtainBannerForKeywordCampaignAdvanced4, Line 27
   Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table 'Campaigns' because it is not full-text indexed.
    
3. Copy the files from the directory called "Root Directory" to the web server directory where Ban Man Pro is installed.  If you installed the software at http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro then that is where these files are to be copied.  You will be overwriting the existing files.  
    
4. Copy the files in the Images directory to the images directory.  This will most likely be... http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro/images.  
    
5. Copy the entire Admin, Advertiser, and Bin folders into the folder where Ban Man Pro is installed. Be sure to include all subdirectories.
    
6. Open the application in your browser (http://www.yourdomain.com/banmanpro/admin/default.aspx).   Login using your old username and the password of "Admin1".
    
7. Once logged in, click Setup.  Reset the password.  Now update the setup.
