==Upgrade Steps==

To upgrade your WHMCS System, simply follow the instructions below.

We know most already are, but please note that you must be running PHP 5.0-5.2.x in order to run WHMCS V4.2.

#Begin by taking a backup of your database through a tool such as phpMyAdmin
#Unzip the contents of the zip file download to a folder on your computer
#Remove the images/logo.jpg file to avoid overwriting your customised logo
#Upload the files to your existing installation folder overwriting any existing files
#Visit the admin area to access the upgrade script
#Accept the license agreement
#Confirm you have backed up your database and click the upgrade button to begin the database updates
#Once the upgrade script completes, delete the install folder
#Finally, to complete the upgrade, you must update your custom template with any new or changed template files from the list below
