Upgrading WEBES

This procedure applies when upgrading to WEBES 5.0 from an existing version of WEBES that is within

two versions of 5.0. For example, WEBES 5.0 can be upgraded when either version 4.5 or 4.4.4 is

installed, but not if version 4.4.3 or earlier is installed. If an upgrade is attempted on a version of WEBES

that is too old, you will be told to uninstall the existing version, and the upgrade will not proceed.

If WEBES is already uninstalled or was never installed, see the WEBES Installation Guide.

Upgra

ding lets you preserve your conﬁguration and state data. Be aware that upgrading uninstalls the

olde

r version of WEBES and installs the n ewer version. The upgrade does not patch or replace certain

ﬁles

Whenever a version of W EB ES is already installed that is capable of being upgraded, the W EBES kit

inform s you that the older version was detected and prompts you about upgrading.
