Upgrading from Fences Pro 1.x to Fences 3

I just got the latest version of Fences today, I have been using Fences 1 Pro all along. When I ran the install, it did not seem to recognize the installed version, Pls suggest the best way to upgrade without having to spend time doing the setup manually all over again? Thanks.

I am not sure I understand what that means - are you saying it did not preserve your prior layout?  Did you try to restore a snapshot?

Thank you for your reply. I was expecting the new 3.x version to identify that I already had the 1.x version installed. That did not happen and hence was not sure if the upgrade would happen automatically. I will use the approach you have suggested. Thanks.
