Switchvox 7.0 Upgrade: New Features, New Installation Process Required

The new Switchvox 7.0 takes full advantage of your server's 64-bit processor, which is great news for the performance of Switchvox. However, this means that upgrading to Switchvox version 7.0 requires some extra steps. In the past, updating to a new version was done from Switchvox's Updates page, using the Download and Apply tools.
