 ===== Difference between Upgrade and Update =====
-To avoid confusion we need to understand the difference between the terms update and upgrade. \\
+Ultimately, an Upgrade or Update are essentially the same thing, but for clarity and the purposes of this document: \\
-An upgrade is where the application version has changed from 1 major release to another. An example of this is when the version number has changed from 5.42.0.195 to 6.0.0.132. This upgrade requires System Five to perform a data conversion. \\

-On the other hand, an update is only applying a patch to the same version. An example of this is when the version number has changed  from 6.0.0.124 to 6.0.0.132. or another example, from 6.0.50.40 to 6.0.50.50. These would not require a data conversion. \\
