Upgrade from Previous Version
This information is only relevant if you are upgrading a previous installation of RC-E.
IMPORTANT: RC-E
no longer supports Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP. See System Requirements (on page 9).
The process of upgrading RC-E involves removing all of its components
except
the Database Server. The Database
Server is one of the management server's components, it contains the entire system configuration (recording server
configurations, camera configurations, rules, etc.). As long as you do not remove the Database Server, you will not
need to reconfigure your surveillance system configuration in any way (although you may of course want to configure
some of the new features in the new version).
Backward compatibility with recording servers from RC-E versions older than 3.0 is limited. You can still access
recordings on such older recording servers; but in order for you to be able to change their configuration, they must be
of version 3.0 or later. It is thus highly recommended that you upgrade all recording servers in your RC-E system.
When doing an update which includes updating your recording servers, you automatically update your Video Device
Drivers as well. In this case, after restarting your system, it might take several minutes for your hardware devices to
make contact with the new Video Device Drivers, so have patience. This is due to several internal checks being
performed on the newly installed drivers.
Prerequisites
Have
your
temporary license (.lic) file
ready. The license file will change when your SLC changes, so you are
likely to have received a new license file when purchasing the new version. When you install the management
server, the wizard will ask you to specify the location of your license (.lic) file, which the system will verify before
you will be able to continue.
If you do not have your license file, contact your OnSSI vendor.
Have
your
new RC-E version
ready. If you have not purchased the software on a DVD, you can download it from
www.onssi.com (http://www.onssi.com). Note that although you can download any version, you will only be able
to install a version for which your license file is valid.
