When deciding whether to upgrade, please consider:

• Ascendis Caller ID version 3 now requires Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP. Users running older versions of Windows should not upgrade.
• Ascendis Caller ID version 3 uses more memory, and will not perform as speedily on computers with processors running slower than 1 GHz.
• Ascendis Caller ID version 3 stores more data in its database, and therefore uses more disk space than version 1. One version 3 database we use with 21,500 calls requires just over 1 GB of disk space. However, if you exclude the pictures from the calls report, the disk space required drops to below 100 MB.

• Ascendis Caller ID 3 can be installed on the same computer as version 2 and version 1 as long as it meets the requirements mentioned above. It will offer to import previous version settings and database when first run. All calls, contacts, actions and locations (and callers and categories from version 1) will be retained.
  We recommend not using older versions once the new one is installed since it is confusing, and running multiple versions at the same time can cause problems when using devices that only allow access from one program at a time, and when using Ascendis Caller ID as a server.
• Ascendis Caller ID 3 can communicate with version 1 and 2 clients, although the clients will not gain any functionality added to version 3.
• Ascendis Caller ID 3 supports all phone hardware supported in previous versions, assuming proper drivers are available.
• Ascendis Caller ID 3 does not support any versions of ACT!.
