Tuc,

Assuming your server is a VNC 3 server, installing any other VNC 3 server
right over the top of it should work just fine.  Alternatively, you could
run a User-Mode server alongside your existing one and connect in with that
& use it to uninstall the existing server & install the replacement.

BTW, the software you currently have installed is simply "VNC".  "RealVNC"
is the company, not the product. :)

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
