Install Updates

The way to install an update depends if it is a minor or major Update.

Major Update from version 2.x to version 3.x

Version 3.x uses a complete new infrastructure and therefore needs a full new installation.

System requirements have changed. Before you start with the main installation first the required new components.

1. Backup

Backup the complete directory, especially important is

•	Your database

•	project.config and all files from folder \PCONFIG

•	All *.xml files in the folder \alg

•	Your license file licprotector.lic or lpwas.lic in the folder \alg

Note: The MSI installer will automatically create a backup folder

2. Install new components

The Activation Server version Web Administration Interface needs new components like ASP.NET 2.0 or the Ajax Extension. Check the system requirements and start the install-activation-server.msi to find out, which components are missing.

3. Install the Activation Server

Install the Activation Server as using the MSI installer described in detail here.

If you want to replace/update an existing Activation Server, the Virtual directory name must match the name you use in your application. A backup from the selected folder is generated and the SQL login data is automatically retrieved (see next page - Configure SQL Server).

Activation Server - Website Settings

To update your existing database, specify the existing database name, an existing user name and the password of this user.

4. Perfom System Check

Use the System Check to find out, if the system is properly configured. If you get an error, see Troubleshooting. Also make sure that you again set all necessary rights for the ASP service.

Test the Administration Interface and login as administrator.

5. Update your data

Your individual configuration settings are automatically preserved with the MSI installation. If you used the ZIP installation, you have to change the new files and add your values, as there have been a lot of new settings.

•	licprotorws.config in the main folder. If you use now a different path name, you have to adapt the path name

•	Copy all files from the folder \PCONFIG. If you use now a different path name, you have to adapt the path name

•	Copy all *.xml files from the folder \alg

•	First delete the license file lpwas.lic in the folder \alg and then copy your license file licprotector.lic from your original Licence Protector installation. Make sure that you have a valid update subscription. See details Check for Updates / Update eligibility

Restart the IIS server

Minor Update within version 3.x

If it is a minor update, it will come with an own update instruction. Otherwise use the procedure for Major Updates.

New configuration settings

If you update from version 2.x to 3.x we recommend adding the following new configuration settings and options:

project.config file

•	Configuration <IsSerial>

•	Configuration <StoreKey>

•	Full application name <ProjectDescription>

•	For a manual product activation, only the Unlock Key is created. If you need multiple keys, this can be configured using NumberOfKeysToDisplay

The Activation Server 3.0 allows to have a .config file for each project in the folder .\pconfig. For backward compatibility, the project.config file is still supported. See Project.config
