If you update one without the other, you will not be able to access SI5.</p> <p class=MsoNormal>See the <a href="http://www.d-toolsblog.com/product-view/critical-si55-update-notice/">Launch Update</a> for more information.</p> <h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>File size requirements</span></h3> <p class=MsoNormal>SI5.5 requires .Net Framework 3.5 SP1, which requires 28 MB of disk space (on both server and desktop), and which will be installed automatically when upgrading to SI5.5. Additionally, the SI5.5 desktop install requires about 80MB to install.</p> <h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Server database conversion</span></h3> <p class=Style1 style='margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>During the update, your server database will be converted to SI5.5. This process is not reversible, so special care should be taken while running the server update.</span></p> <p class=Style1 style='margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><a href="http://www.d-toolsblog.com/technical-terminal/updating-si5-server-si55/">Click here</a> to see special instructions for updating your server to SI5.5.</span></p> <h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Server project folder subfolder change</span></h3> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.0pt'><span style='color:#333333'>As part of the update, project files on your SI5 server will be copied into new directories underneath the main folder. The new folders will have long complex names uniquely identifying the project. The old project subfolders (/Client/Project) will remain; however they will not be used going forward and can be deleted once any update issues are resolved.</span></p> <h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Some projects may not convert</span></h3> <p class=Style1 style='margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>During the server database conversion, it is possible that one or more of your projects may not be converted. This will only occur if there was a problem with the project in your existing database. This is discussed in more detail <a href="http://www.d-toolsblog.com/technical-terminal/updating-si5-server-si55/">here</a>.</span></p> <h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Re-register your server after update</span></h3> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.0pt'><span style='color:#333333'>After you update your server, be sure to open the Administration Console at least once to re-register your software. The upside: with 5.5, you only need to register your server. Desktop users no longer need to verify licenses.</span></p> <h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Licensing and permission changes</span></h3> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.0pt'><span style='color:#333333'>SI5.5 includes important changes to the ways licenses are handled. For example, users are no longer restricted to a particular license, but can take the first available license available. This also means that all users in an enterprise have been upgraded to full Pro seats with Business Manager. Restricting user access to things like Quicklinks is now managed via permissions and you ll want to set this up in the Admin Console.</span></p> <h3><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#333333'>Install Utility is now obsolete</span></h3> <p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.0pt'><span style='color:#333333'>With 5.5, the Install Utility is now obsolete and can be removed from your system.</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=586 colspan=3 valign=bottom style='width:439.65pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.5pt;line-height:150%;color:#333333'><img border=0 width=582 height=34 src="images/footer.jpg"></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=36 style='width:27.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'></td> <td width=341 style='width:255.75pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'></td> <td width=207 style='width:155.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'></td> </tr> <tr> <td width=36 style='width:27.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'></td> <td width=341 style='width:255.75pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'></td> <td width=207 style='width:155.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'></td> </tr> </table> </div> <p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"'>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p> </div> </body> </html>
