https://help.k2.com/kb002045 Notes
The K2 Five Setup Manager guides you through the upgrade configuration. After the K2 Five Setup Manager completes, you have the option to automatically run AppDeployment.exe to add the new version of the K2 for SharePoint app to your app catalogs. The K2 Five for SharePoint App Deployment Wizard will start if you checked the box.
- If you are using K2 for SharePoint on a different machine, you must run the Setup Manager on that machine too.
- You must have K2 4.7 installed before you can upgrade to K2 Five. If you are on a version prior to K2 4.7, you must upgrade to K2 4.7 first and thereafter you would be able to upgrade to K2 Five.
- If you have been part of the K2 Five RC program you can upgrade your K2 Five RC environment to K2 Five RTM.
