Resolution

This document explains how to upgrade a previous version of iPassConnect (including iPassConnect 2.x or 3.x) to version 3.41.

 iPassConnect 3.41 is supported on the following Microsoft Windows operating
systems:   
  Windows 2000 SP 4 or later    
  Windows XP Home or Professional SP 1 or later 
  Also, in order to be eligible to upgrade to iPassConnect 3.41, you must be
running iPassConnect  version 2.20 or later.  To upgrade to version 3.41, 
  1.  Launch your current version of iPassConnect and connect to the iPass 
      network. (Alternately,  launch iPassConnect and do a LAN Phonebook 
      update.) iPassConnect will download all  required upgrade files.  
  2. Exit iPassConnect.  
     a.  If running iPassConnect 2.x, exit the client by clicking Exit. 
     b.  If running iPassConnect 3.x, exit the iPassConnect 3.x client by 
         right-clicking on the  iPassConnect system tray icon and choosing 
         Exit. (If you don't exit iPassConnect  3.x, then iPassConnect 3.41 
         will be installed in English by default.) 
  3.  Launch iPassConnect again and connect to the iPass network.  
  4.  The iPassConnect Downloader will run and prompt you to download the 
      installer for  iPassConnect 3.41. (There may be a short delay before the
      Download prompt appears.) 
     a.  If the Speed Prioritized Update feature is enabled, then iPassConnect
         will wait to  perform a software update until you connect over a 
         high-bandwidth connection.  (Typically this is a LAN connection of
         128 kbps or greater.) Otherwise, the download  will proceed. 
  5. Click Download Now. The installer will download to your computer. 
      (Interrupted downloads  will resume at the interruption point when you 
      reconnect.) 
  6.  After the download is complete, click Install Now. 
  7.  Your iPassConnect connection will be terminated. Your existing 
      iPassConnect will be  uninstalled, and iPassConnect 3.41 will be 
      installed in its place. iPassConnect 3.41 will be  launched 
      automatically upon the completion of the installation.  
  8.  Upon first starting, iPassConnect will initialize and will take a few
      moments to process the  new Phonebook database. This processing will 
      only occur the first time you start  iPassConnect after upgrading. 
      iPassConnect 3.41 will then be ready for use.
