Lexolution Installation Guide – Quick Start Instructions

Before updating the Lexolution server, make sure to back up the Lexolution database.
When you update the Lexolution server, the Lexolution database will also be updated.

The installation is done in two separate steps:
1.) Install the program files for the Lexolution server.
2.) Update the database and start the service.

You can't update directly from Lexolution 5.2 to the current version.
First, you need to update the Lexolution server to version 5.3, and then to the current version. Both updates can be done one after the other.

The clients can be updated directly from 5.2 to the current version.

Please note the following: - In the past, when updating the Lexolution server using the setup, the values from the config file were not carried over if the server setup was done by different admins. - Starting with Lexolution 8.0.119, the server setup is delivered with ALLUSERS=1 for a system-wide installation. - For existing customers, it is recommended to switch from a user-specific to a system-wide installation once: - 1. Update to the current Lexolution server. - 2. Back up the Lexolution server configuration (STP.Kms.Server.exe.config). - 3. Uninstall the previous version of the Lexolution server. - 4. [optional] If the Lexolution server was previously installed by different users:
Clean up old installations (log in as each user and uninstall the old Lexolution Server or LEXolution.KMS Server installations). - 5. Restart the machine. - 6. 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. Just finish the setup. - 7. Replace the Lexolution server configuration in the installation directory with the backup from step 2. - 8. Start the Lexolution server service.

If Windows updates have not been installed on the system, there may be issues installing the new .NET Framework version.
