Update

Before you start updating, it is highly recommended to:

• back up your configuration (see Backup and restore utility);
• stop the Server (see Stop the server). If you run multiple Servers in the Axxon-domain, make sure to stop them all. 

To update, do the following:

1. Run the new build installer. You do not need to remove the previous build.

2. Install the build using the previous settings, existing configuration and database. The procedure is the same as for a new installation (see Installation).
   

   Attention!

   • In Axxon One 2.0 and newer, there are no restrictions on database location. To reduce the load on the system disk, we recommend storing the metadata database and the log database on a separate hard disk.
   • When you update Axxon One, only the basic DetectorPack is updated. If you installed the DetectorPack add-ons, you must update them to the version of the basic DetectorPack (see Installing DetectorPack add-ons).
   • After you update Drivers Pack, an error can occur: “The current version of the installed Drivers Pack does not match the device configuration. The device cannot work properly until it is removed and re-added to the hardware tree.” To fix this error, you must remove the device and re-add it to the configuration. To save the rules (see Types of permissions to access hardware, archives and macros), we recommend adding devices with the original identifier (ID, see Camera) and only after that binding them to the archive (see Configuring recording to an archive).
