It is not necessary to upgrade your plant if the plant was created by SmartPlant Engineering Manager 2009 or later. If you have such a plant, the Upgrade Utility shows that your plant is up-to-date and you can skip this procedure. For a plant created by a version of SmartPlant Engineering Manager earlier than 2009, use Upgrade Utility 2009 to upgrade your plant to Version 2009 first (for details, refer to the 2009 version of the SmartPlant P&ID Installation and Upgrade Guide, or the 2009 version of the SmartPlant Electrical Installation and Upgrade Guide).
