Accounting data is stored on a database server that, depending on the type of installation, runs on a local computer or a server on the network. When upgrading to a newer version of Flexi, you may encounter dialogs informing you that the data storage needs to be updated, or that you need to upgrade to a newer version of Flexi if the data storage has already been updated to a newer version. Below you will find an overview of the dialogs you may encounter, along with a description of what to do in each situation.

This dialog informs you that the data storage needs to be updated to a newer version. This situation typically occurs when you are upgrading to a newer version of Flexi.

The process may take up to several minutes, and once the update is complete, you will be able to continue working without any problems.
If multiple users share a single data storage over a network, it is advisable to ensure that all workstations upgrade to the new version of Flexi at the same time. Updating the data storage will prevent users running an older version of Flexi from accessing it.
