AsteriskNOW 1 and 2 are both based on Centos 5 and I think the new AsteriskNOW 3 is based on Centos 6 so upgrades are not supported by the Linux OS distribution[1]. It's best to backup and reinstall with the new version. It's a shame AsteriskNOW is not based on Debian so it could be dist-upgraded between versions.
