  2. Upgrade Audience Manager and Outbound E-mail as part of the procedure for Upgrading Content Manager server.
  3. Run the Template Builder to upgrade your modular templates.
  4. Optional: If you use the GetLinkBinary() method to create a link to a Multimedia Component (image), upgrade your Outbound E-mail Dreamweaver Templates and rename the method GetLinkBinaryURL().

Results

Audience Manager and Outbound E-mail are upgraded, including your OutboundEmail.xml configuration file.
