If you install Intellect on a computer where an earlier version is used, then the installation will be in the updating mode.

Attention!

Important to know before updating Intellect:

  1. Before updating, we recommend you to back up all databases that you use—see Creating the database backup copy. Also, copy and save the intellect.sec license file (located in the root of the Intellect installation directory, by default: C:\Program Files/Intellect).
  2. Intellect can be updated if there is a difference in the third digit of the version number and the first two digits are the same. If the first and/or second digits are different, you must reinstall Intellect instead of updating, i.e. uninstall the previous version and install the new one.
    Examples:
    1. you can update from version 4.11.1 to version 4.11.3;
    2. you cannot update from version 4.10.1 to 4.11.2, you need to reinstall.
  3. Before starting the update, Intellect must be uploaded, if it is running.
  4. You must run the update as Windows Administrator.
  5. When you update Intellect on the Server or Remote Administrator’s workstation, you should also update Intellect on Remote Client. The compatible versions of Intellect should be installed on Remote Clients and on the Server/Remote Administrator’s workstation, i.e. the first two digits of the version number should be the same (e.g. versions 4.10.4 and 4.11.0 aren't compatible, but versions 4.10.3 and 4.10.4 are compatible).
  6. Starting with version 4.10.2, Intellect isn't compatible with the earlier versions in the distributed configuration.

To update Intellect, do the following:

  1. Unpack the installation kit as described in Getting ready for Intellect installation. The destination folder will show the contents of the kit.
  2. Run the setup.exe file to start the Intellect installation procedure.
    As a result, a window for choosing the Installation wizard language will be displayed.
  3. Choose the language of the Installation wizard and click the Install button.
     
    As a result, the Type of installation window will be displayed.
  4. Choose the type of installation needed.

  5. To log all installation events, set the Enable full installation log checkbox.

    Note

    While installing and uninstalling, the software events are logged to Intellect.log and Intellect uninstall.log correspondingly. To collect log files, use the Support.exe tool (see The utility for collecting configuration data on servers and RWS for the Technical Support).
  6. Click the Next button.
    The Selecting components for installation window will be displayed.

  7. Set the checkboxes next to the components that you want to install.

    Note

    It is recommended to install all suggested components.

  8. Click the Install button.
    The selected prerequisites and drivers will be installed. 

    Attention!

    During the installation process, you will be prompted to remove the installed vertical solutions:

    Two options are possible:

    1. If you click the Yes button, the vertical solutions will be removed during the update process. In this case, you will need to reinstall them after the update. Installation manuals are available in the documentation for each solution, links are on the main documentation page for Intellect 4.11.0-4.11.3. You should also consider version compatibility: General information about product releases and version compatibility.

    2. If you click the No button, the vertical solutions won't be removed and will be compatible with the new version of Intellect after the update.

    When prerequisites and drivers are installed, the window of Intellect update will be displayed.

  9. Click the Next button.
    The window for selecting the type of update will be displayed.

  10. Select one of the suggested types of update. The types of update are described in the table below.
