Quick Start
Before updating the LEXolution server, back up the LEXolution
database.
When updating the LEXolution server, the LEXolution database will be
updated as well.
Installation is carried out in two separate steps:
- Installing the program files for the LEXolution server.
- Updating the database and starting the service.
Updating directly from LEXolution 5.2 to the current version is not
possible.
The LEXolution server must first be updated to version 5.3 and then to the current version, though both steps can be performed one right after the other.
Clients can be updated directly from 5.2 to the current version.
Please note the following:
In the past, when updating the LEXolution server via the setup, values from the config file were not carried over if the server setup had been performed by different administrators.
Starting with LEXolution 8.0.119, the server setup is delivered with ALLUSERS=1 for a system-wide installation.
For existing customers, we recommend switching once from a user-specific installation to a system-wide installation:
- Update to the current LEXolution server.
- Back up the LEXolution server configuration (STP.Kms.Server.exe.config).
- Uninstall the previous version of the LEXolution server.
[Optional] If the LEXolution server was previously installed by different users:
Clean up old installations (uninstall the old versions of the LEXolution server or LEXolution.KMS server using the respective user accounts).
- Restart the machine.
- Install the current LEXolution server. Do not enter any configuration values during setup, and do not start the service using the button on the last page of the setup — instead, simply complete the setup.
- Replace the LEXolution server configuration file in the installation directory with the backup saved in step 2.
- Start the LEXolution server service.
If Windows Updates have not been applied to the system, issues may occur when installing the new .NET Framework version.
