Install and configure a new version of the product
Install the new version of the product to a new location. The location can be on the same computer as your existing version of the product or on another computer.
Installing to a new location allows you to maintain your existing version of the product and run it in addition to the new version of the product. This can help you test your new version without affecting your existing version. You can compare the configuration settings between version and compare the appearance and functionality of the reports in both environments to ensure equivalency.
