Updating CafeSuite

Top  Previous  Next

Here's a short description of the update procedure. Follow these steps to avoid problems with newer versions of CafeSuite:

1.Backup existing installation directory (usually C:\Program Files\CafeSuite).
2.Download the latest installation package.
3.When installing the new version, choose current installtion directory (usually C:\Program Files\CafeSuite). This will cause all your data files and settings to be imported to the new version automatically.
4.Execute CafeStation.
5.Open client software configuration and make sure all the settings are correct.

You should at least check the server address settings on the Main page in client software configuration.

6.Save client software configuration by pressing the OK button. You will be asked to if you'd like to save it to some other location. Choose a network-shared directory available from all workstations.
7.You wil be also asked if you'd like to try updating client software remotely. Answer Yes and wait for the results.
8.If any of the workstation failed to update client software, you should log onto the workstation as the Administrator (you'll need full access rights) and manually execute the newly configured client software package from the network-shared directory you seaved it into.

Don't forget to update client software on the workstations. It should always be in the same version as CafeStation. Using different versions of client and server software will lead to unexpected problems.
