Upgrading to MVE 4.7

Notes::

  • Due to issues with Oracle licensing, MVE 4.0 has been revoked. As a result, customers currently using version 3.x cannot upgrade directly. Instead, they must perform a fresh installation of the necessary 4.x version.

  • If you are already using any 4.x version with SQL database, then you can directly upgrade to version 4.6 or later.

  • When upgrading from MVE 4.3.x or any earlier (inside 4.x) to MVE 4.6 or later version using a Firebird database, we recommend to upgrading to interim MVE 4.5.1 first. Upgrading directly to MVE 4.6 or later can cause failures due to user restrictions after Firebird version upgrade to onwards MVE 4.6 or later.

  1. Back up the database, application, and properties files. If necessary, provide custom database names.
    Warning—Potential Damage: When you upgrade MVE, the database is changed. Do not restore a database backup which was created from a previous version.
    Note: Any upgrade or uninstallation creates a risk of unrecoverable data loss. You can use the backup files to restore the application to its previous state in case the upgrade fails. For more information, see Backing up and restoring the database.
  2. Download the executable file to a temporary location.
  3. Run the installer as an administrator, and then follow the instructions on the computer screen.
    Note: After upgrading, make sure to clear the browser cache before accessing the application again.
