Upgrading
from Nimbus Alarm Server release 1.xx.xx to Nimbus Alarm Server release 2.xx.xx
The installation program will by default recommend the same installation
folder as the old version. Altough both versions may coexist in the same
folder, we do not recommend this. Install the new version in another folder,
i.e. ..\Nimbus Alarm Server 2.
Moving old users, receivers, profiles and other settings.
If you are installing Nimbus Alarm Server 2.00.01 or later, both the new
and the old version may be active at the same time.
Start
both Nimbus Administrator and Nimbus Explorer and do setup of the new system by
manually entering the old data.
There is no way for version 2.xx.xx
release to read the old settings!
Upgrading the license.
Contact the program supplier for information about the upgrade fee.
Select Setup – Server Setup Select the Scan
for licensing opportunities. Copy the license information by selecting the
text and enter Ctrl-C, send it by
e-mail to the program supplier. You will then get either a new registration key
or an upgrade code.
If the old version was run as a service, first uninstall it from the SCM
using the command
Uninstall the old version using the Add/Remove
program facility in the control panel.
