If you are running OMNM 4.3 or earlier version, you should uninstall OMNM in order to install OMNM 5.2 on the same system. If you are running OMNM 4.4 and choose to upgrade, OMNM will change and migrate only a limited amount of data from to version 5.2. This results in some data and settings being changed or no longer accessible. Refer to the User Guide and Release Notes for additional information. If you choose to install OMNM 5.2 as an upgrade from OMNM 4.4, you can continue to manage previously discovered devices after reinstalling your license key. However, you will be required to update your OMNM 4.4 license to an OMNM 5.2 license to enable the new OMNM 5.2 features. If after an upgrade you have more than 10 devices discovered, you will only be able to remove devices and not be allowed to add any device until your OMNM 4.4 license has been converted to OMNM 5.2 license format.
