At Ease 3.0 Workgroups: Upgrading From Earlier At Ease

I am about to install At Ease 3.0 for Workgroups on my systems that already have At Ease users and set-ups installed. Will I lose all my users and set-ups?
For most At Ease upgrades, your administrator password (if you have one) remains the same in the At Ease Setup program in At Ease for Workgroups 3.0. When the At Ease Setup program asks for an administrator name, type At Ease Administrator, which is the default administrator name.

Upgrading From Version 1.x
--------------------------
If you are upgrading from At Ease version 1.x to At Ease for Workgroups 3.0, you must first remove the old version by using the At Ease Installer program that came with the old version. When the Installer screen is displayed, hold down the Option key to change the Install button to Remove. Then click Remove to remove the old version.

Any items you created in version 1.x are automatically assigned to a setup or user named At Ease 1.0.

Upgrading From Version 2.x
--------------------------
Upgrading from version 2.x to version 3.0 occurs automatically when you first run the At Ease Setup program of version 3.0. At Ease turns itself off at the end of the installation process, so you must run the At Ease Setup program to turn At Ease back on.

If you upgrade from any version of At Ease for Workgroups 2.0, you must run At Ease Setup on each computer to update the preferences files and databases before you can add the computer to the list of updated computers. (If a computer is already in the list, this step is unnecessary.)

Upgrading From Non-Workgroup Version 2.x or 3.0 to At Ease for Workgroups 3.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Ease creates setups in the new version for each user in the old version; the new setups have the same names as the old users. For example, if you had two users named Billy and Sally in the non-workgroup version, the At Ease Setup program of At Ease for Workgroups will now show two setups (Billy and Sally) and two users (also Billy and Sally). You can rename users and setups.
