How do I install it?

Can I upgrade from an older version of VNC?

Yes. This should be seamless if you’re upgrading from version 5.x. There's no need to stop VNC Server, and you’ll be prompted if you need a new license key. If you’re upgrading from version 4.x, please read the upgrade guide first.

Do I need to apply a license key?
