FlexLM lmadmin upgrade

[bmüller]

Hi,

is the current lmadmin upgrade path, really uninstalling the old version and installing the new version from scratch?

In the past the setup recognized the old installation and upgraded it. at least a few years ago.

You've not specified what version of Creo you are attempting to upgrade to. If you are putting a new version of the lmadmin, if I recall correctly the last time I did it, you need to remove the old version, then install the new one. Be sure to have the latest version of your PTC license file for the new installation.

Here's a past discussion I started when I was forced to upgrade the license server, and I summarized my results, so it would be searchable in the future, like right now.

Hi, installing the latest for Creo 12 - 11.19.6.1 - which shows as 11.19.6.0 in the webinterface...

I found your thread, but in the past when a license Server was installed, you just had to start the setup and on the license page the GUI would freeze for a few minutes and upgrade the installed lmadmin in the background.

was wondering this doesn't work, because we changed the port from 8090 to 8080.

we do not have much special settings, but a few which need to be done on the fresh install...

FlexLM docs still mention the "autoupgrade feature", so it has todo with the PTC modifications. probably the same as silent install...
