			* To stop the WCS, click on the X in the top corner of the application. Be careful that the correct WCS Server is being stopped, if you have multiple WCS Servers installed on the same hardware. The program will require you to enter the password to stop the program. If any RF users are still connected, the WCS Server will inform you of this at this stage - you can set a timer to give them time to log out, or you can stop the application immediately by entering '0' here. Once confirmed, the WCS Server will stop.
			* To check whether RF users are logged out, you can start the Wavelink Studio Administrator and check the users connected. Again, be careful to choose the right Wavelink monitor if you are running multiple systems. If there are users connected, they will be shown under the Wavelink Monitor on the left of the application window. You can disconnect a user by double-clicking on the user and clicking the '''Shutdown''' button. You can also use the Windows Task Manager to check that there are no running copies of the programs 'Debug.exe' and 'RDTMenu1.exe' on the machine. If there are, stop the processes.
			* Ensure that there are no administrative users on the database. Any users using the applications Database Utilities, VisData or WCS Maintenance must exit their programs. Ensure that there are none on the server machine (using Windows Task Manager). Once you are sure all database connections are closed, check the Database folder. If no file 'rdt1.ldb' exists, the database is clear. Note that the Upgrade Install script will not allow installations if this file exists.

	The program will then install all outstanding patches in sequence, will handle back-ups of the current installation files and allow a roll-back to the last release completed.
