Upgrade from Console 2.0 and EM 1.3 to V4?

TechSupp

Just found out that our AV was not updating due to it being out of date so just a few questions on an upgrade:

Can I just install V4 as an upgrade (i.e. not uninstalling the existing version) to the versions we have mentioned in the title?

How much extra disk space will the new version take as our drive that it is installed on has only 1.2Gb of free space (we only need to protect XP versions and the server 2003 itself)

If we do not have enough disk space on the current drive can I install it to another disk on the same server but still migrate settings etc and allow the same clients to connect to it without any further intervention?

Would I be better just uninstalling Sophos altogether due to space requirements and install brand new on the drive with more space (we do not have complex policies just if virus found delete etc). Would this require me to do anything with the client PC's or will they just be picked up by the new install and updated accordingly?

Sorry if these seem to be silly or simple questions but looked searched the site for answers and can't seem to see the wood for the trees! Information overload!

Thanks

    Well first off the trees have got a little less and I can see the wood alot better now! :-)

    To all those who offered advice thanks, I will probably be back!

    Now the reason for the happy smile....the reason my Sophos stopped updating.....I had missed out changing the proxy setting when the council changed it early on this year...Doh! Did everthing else except Sophos. Put the correct setting in and away it went getting its latest it could from the servers! So imediate problem solved but still really need to get up to date. After reading many pages and suggestions etc and update guides it may be easier for most of my systems to upgrade them to v3 then v4 in simple upgrades insted of having to bite the bullet and do a complete new install (will save that for when we change the servers). Now I just have to get hold of the v3 upgrade that I missed.

    So once again thanks all.
