The procedures for installing and removing the licensed plug-ins are covered in the respective plug-in user's guides. The standard method for upgrading any optional plug-in is to install the latest version over the previous version of the plug-in. Any changes or additional steps required for an upgrade are described in the Release Notes for that version of the plug-in.
