Hi,

Yes. You can upgrade directly to the latest version. Some administrators would rather upgrade version to version. If you'd like to follow the incremnetal path in upgrading, you can find versions 20, 21, and 22 in the downloads link below.

Which way you are recomend for me? Direct or step upgrade?
If I go with step upgrade. Which minor version that we need to select the lower or the higher. for exampleUpgrade from 19.5.1 to V.20.x.x
the files that i have to download it have 1 versions. it is 20.0.7.
But for 20 to 21. It have 2 version.
Which one i have to choose? 21.0.6 and 21.5.4?

The final version of each major version is what I would do. In this case 19.x > 20.x > 21.x > 22.x > 23.0.2.

You can upgrade to the 64-bit version of MDaemon by running the md1959_en_x64.exe installer from the URL above over top of your 32-bit version. From there you can start MDaemon and select Help > Check for MDaemon Updates... and follow the wizard to upgrade to 23.5.0. Or if you'd like to upgrade version by version that can be done as well. See the URL from my oringinal response to find all available previous versions of MDaemon.
The MDaemon installer will make a backup of the general configuration when performing upgrades. These backups are in the \MDaemon\Backup\ folder on the server where MDaemon is installed and are split up by version. See the article below on performing a complete backup of MDaemon.
