Notice:

To be able to perform the update smoothly, we recommend that you perform our preparation for installation. This will ensure that you have all the information you need during the installation process. Place the bestzero.ini created here in the same folder as the best_zero_srv.exe before you run it to automatically fill in the fields in the installer. An already created file of the initial installation can be reused.The ZIP archive containing the preparation page can be found here:
