How to upgrade QC9.2 to QC10?

Here is a brief summary of QC upgrade from v9.2 to v10: (my suggestion is to perform the upgrade in a test server first and then production)

1.Backup DB schemas and File System repository. Note: it is recommended to stop QC Service during backup
2.Install Patch 32 to move existing DB projects to the File system prior to uninstalling QC9.2. Again, perform a backup of DB schemas and File System repository.
3.Uninstall QC9.2 patches and then uninstall the software. Also, verify that the Remove Project > Restore Project (new QC repository). Then select project > Verify Project (Backup projects prior to running repair and save a copy of the exported log).
12. Repair Project > Upgrade Project > Ping Project and connection string
13. Activate Project and then Login to "testproject" in QC10. Note: I received this error when login to the project: "License Error: Business Components you're exceeding your licenses." To fix: Login to the project and go the project Customization window > Module Access. Double-click on Business components to disable it. Note: if your current license doesn't include the business components module or some other module you may get a similar error when log in to the project. >> I had to do this for all projects.
14. Last - verify group permissions, workflow, and so on.

Server specs: Win2003 SP2, JBOSS Appl, IIS Web server, Oracle 9i DB.
