Criterion for Detecting Which Products to Upgrade

If the product code option is selected, the following check box is available:

•

Product Code for Earlier Version Does Not Match that of the Current Project—The installer searches target systems for the presence of a product that has a different product code that you specify. If you select this option, ensure that you use the Product Code of the Earlier Version box to indicate the product code for which you want the installer to search.

The upgrade code is listed in the Upgrades view on the Project page of a project.

The product code is listed in the General Settings view on the Project page of a project.
