Campaign 11 Revision History

To update Campaign Enterprise to the latest edition of the same version, download the latest build and install over the top of the existing program. We recommend saving a copy of the campaign.sto file to a safe directory prior to updating, just in case.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE INFORMATION
When updating from Campaign Enterprise 10, to Campaign Enterprise 11, you can transfer a copy of the campaign.sto file and the content folder from the old directory to the new. However, due to some of the advancements in version 11, not all of your settings will take so you must be aware of that. The items that you will need to reconfigure include:

• Sending Options. Now these are managed globally so you will need to create a new one either in the Admin Settings > SMTP Connections area, or from the Send Setting Page in the campaign edit screens.
• Email Accounts. These are also managed globally in the Email Accounts area. You can set up any number of bounce and email unsubscribe accounts and would select the appropriate account in the Bounce-back Page or Unsubscribe Page in the campaign edit screens.
• Embedded Images. If you are using embedded images in your HTML message, you will need to upload the images to the C:\Program Files\CampaignEnterprise11\www\Uploads folder in order for the images to work. You will also need to modify your message in the HTML editor to modify the link paths to the appropriate folder.
