Run the SDL MultiTerm Server Upgrade Wizard to convert termbases created with MultiTerm Server 2007 (version 7.1 or 7.5) to the format used by MultiTerm Server 2009 SP3. You can then access these termbases using MultiTerm 2009 SP3.
The wizard also converts MultiTerm 2007 user accounts into the (2009) SDL Common User Management format and places them in the Common User Management store.
Stop the termbases you are going to upgrade and ensure that no users are logged into MultiTerm Server.
Install MultiTerm Server 2009 SP3. For more information, see the SDL Server 2009 SP3 Installation Guide.
You must upgrade all MultiTerm client installations when you upgrade your MultiTerm Server installation and vice versa. SDL strongly recommends that you avoid mixed setups of previous and current versions of MultiTerm.

On the User Management Upgrade Approach page decide what you want to do if there is a username conflict during the upgrade.

Resolve manually identical user names.- Select this if you want to manually choose when accounts in MultiTerm Server 2009 SP3 are updated with MultiTerm Server 2007 user information or a new account is created. In this case, you can choose if you want the John Smith account in MultiTerm Server 2009 SP3 to be updated with account information from the MultiTerm Server 2007 John Smith account or if you want to create a new account for the MultiTerm Server 2007 John Smith with a prefix added to the username, such as legacy_jsmith. Then click Next and go to step 9.
On the User Management Upgrade Approach - Details page, a list of users in MultiTerm Server 2007 and MultiTerm Server 2009 SP3 that have the same user name are displayed.
