Before starting the update of IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), read IGEL UMS Update.

Create a  backup of the database before updating a previously installed version of the UMS. Otherwise, you risk losing all database content.

To perform an update under  Windows, proceed as follows:

  1. Download the current version of the IGEL Universal Management Suite from the IGEL Download Server.

For integrity and security purposes, it is recommended to verify the checksum of the downloaded software.

 

  1. Close any other applications and launch the installer.

You will need administrator rights in order to install the UMS.

 

  1. Read and confirm the License Agreement.

  2. Read the Information regarding the installation process and click Next.

  3. Under Database backup, select a file for the backup of the existing embedded database. If you do not choose a file name and click on Next, no backup will be created.

 

  1. Choose the components to be installed under Select Components.
