Hi sujaikumar,

Many thanks for you post. I'm currently considering if I should upgrade. I am at 3278 and no more automatic upgrades from now on. So IIRC the upgrade to 3518 is the only way to keep moving.

I'm collecting all the info I can so that I can try the upgrade in one shot overnight so that the next morning everything is working fine.. this includes running into trial mode and decide if I should go/no go.

From your post there is no risk associated with running the trial mode, just prepare an USB disk for booting 3518 and have a go keeping in mind the notes on your experience.

But now I ask to Todd or anyone familiar with this procedure

But if I decide to go for it? My system has some sort of USB drive from open-e inserted on the motherboard which I believe is the system disk. Is the data of this USB storage upgradeable directly from the trial disk USB disk?

How do I transfer my licence to it then?

I'm still waiting for features like auto label from barcode features and some backup system that can cope with restoring tapes backed up on another DSS.

Does it worth it to risk the upgrade?

Thanks!
