    In Axxon Next 4.5.0, the format of the system log database has changed and its size has increased. When upgrading from a previous version, the existing database will be converted.

If the free disk space is less than the four-fold size of the current database (the size of the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\AxxonSoft\PostgreSQL.NGP\Data), then you will see a warning that some events after the upgrade may be lost.
