2.0 Prior Releases of vCO Plug-in SDK 4.2

	The previous release was the Technology Preview release

3.0	Before You Begin

	- Read the Installation and Configuration Guide and view the videos

	- Please note that vLogBrowser uses Eclipse RSE (Remote System Explorer) to 
	  connect to vCO Server. Running FTP Server on vCO Server is a suggested way 
	  to establish connection to vLogBrowser. Note that the server daemon (dstore) 
	  does not enforce any user authentication. If you run the server daemon, 
          any user can connect to the machine, work with the file system and run commands. 
          Use of the server daemon on Windows systems is not recommended.



4.0	Installation and Upgrade
	
	Please refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed installation instructions. There is no 
	upgrade path from the Technology Preview release to the GA release. Please use a rip-and-replace approach if you
	have an older version of this SDK installed on your system. Plug-ins developed under the Technology Preview release
	have to be manually ported over to work under the GA release.
