It's good to let your system update all it's its packages because
- The binaries were probably built with the latest packages
- If ever you needed to update a package for security reasons, you'd want to minimize the changes to your system
- It's often a requirement for getting assistance on mailing list
- If you do have any problems, most likely others will see the problem as well and provide a quick solution to your issue.

Version 4.4.0 is available on CentOS 5 but not CentOS 6. Version 4.6.0 is available on CentOS 6 but not CentOS 5. Therefore you must make a backup your 4.4.0 system, then install a fresh 4.6.0 system, then restore your 4.4 backups by uploading them from the "Restore" web page. I would strongly suggest you test the this process in a lab to reduce the change you will encounter any problems when upgrading the real system as it will be time consuming to revert back. For example, a VMWare virtual machine would be fine or any virtual environment just to ensure restore goes smoothly. The test machine does not have to have same IP address as the original machine as was the case in prior versions.
Be sure to read "After Upgrading to 4.6.0" in this document for notes about restoring from backups.

After upgrading from 4.6.0
It's unlikely you upgraded directly to 4.6.0 because installation on CentOS required a full reinstall. You probably restored from backups.
When restoring from backups, not all settings may have migrated correctly. You will need to reset which services you want enabled on each machine. These were called "roles" in 4.4, and are now simply a list of services. Navigate to menu in administration user interface : System/Servers. There you will see links along the left hand side of the web page such as "Core Services" or "Telephony Services". Go through each link and enable the services you would like to have running. Hover your mouse over each service for more information about the service and what function it provides. Services will automatically start in about 10-30 seconds after you've applied your changed.
If the 'superadmin' password is not correctly decrypted during the restore, you can use 'service sipxconfig reset-admin' to reset it. You can then log in to the Admin GUI with no password and set a new password.
