    • Uninstall the previous application
      
      1. Right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager from the menu that appears
      2. Select the Processes tab, making sure that the "Show processes from all users" option, at the bottom of the screen, is checked.
      3. If the "ascp.exe" process or the "ascmd.exe" process is running, hightlight the process by clicking on it and then click the "End Process" button. Close the Task Manager window.
      4. Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Program and uninstall Aspera software
    • Install the Aspera software upgrade. Windows 2003 Server administrators must have the sshdproc user's password, if set. Install from the new installer and supply the sshdproc user information from the prior installation. If the account is not yet available, the installer will create this account automatically. Enter a password and click Next > to see whether the account info is correctly prepared. Let the Windows installer guide the rest of the installation.
