> ### Upgrading an earlier version of Fathom

> You can upgrade an earlier version of Fathom. Note that the upgrade installs Fathom in the same directory as the existing Fathom, so you are not able to specify the installation directory.

> Be sure to have the serial and control numbers for Fathom and the SNMP Adapter (if applicable) handy before you begin the upgrade. These numbers are included in your Fathom media kit.
