Upgrading to V13
You must have v11 or 12 installed on your computer before installing the upgrade for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 13. This is because the installer has to automatically detect the version that is installed to continue with the installation. Using the installation disk of the previous version to verify that it is a valid upgradable installation is no longer possible. If there is no previous upgradable version on the system, the Dragon 13 upgrade serial number will not be accepted by the installer.
If there is no previous version present on the system, and no ability to reinstall the previous version, please contact Nuance Technical Support.
