PC*MILER Rail is a standalone product. Each new version is a separate installation of the software. Your new version will be a new install rather than an upgrade. The underlying data the application uses is installed along with the product. The data is stored in binary format that only the product can read. No other database application is required to run PC*MILER Rail.
