Upgrading WiSentry


 

 

If you are upgrading from a previous version of WiSentry 3.x, There are two options for upgrading:

  1. Upgrade all features but keep the previous database
  2. Upgrade all features but remove the previous database

F Due to database incompatibility, if you are upgrading from a previous version of WiSentry 2.x or WiSentry 1.x, there is only one option for upgrading:

  1. Upgrade all features but remove the previous database.  If you need to migrate the database, please Contact WiMetrics for additional options.

 


Keeping the Previous Database

  1. Backup your wisentry.mdb file.  This can be accomplished by making a copy of the wisentry.mdb file in you installation directory, typically c:\program files\wimetrics\wisentry. 
  2. Remove the previous version of WS.  WiMetrics recommends that you use Control Panel – Add/Remove Programs.  Removing WiSentry in this manner will leave the previous wisentry database.  (You will also have your backup copy as well.)
  3. During installation, WiSentry will make a backup of this database but will not use it when WiSentry starts due to database incompatibility.
  4. Due to Packet Driver incompatibilities, your machine must be rebooted to insure that the new packet driver is installed.
  5. Proceed to New Installations and follow the setup instructions.

 


Remove the Previous Database

  1. Remove the previous version of WS.  WiMetrics recommends that you use Control Panel – Add/Remove Programs.  Removing WiSentry in this manner will leave the previous wisentry database. 
  2. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your WiSentry installation directory and delete any files in this directory…typically, there will be at least one file (wisentry.mdb) and there may also be files with the .log extension that were used during WiSentry normal processing.
  3. Due to Packet Driver incompatibilities, your machine must be rebooted to insure that the new packet driver is installed.
  4. Proceed to New Installations and follow the setup instructions
