Upgrading to MVE 4.3

Before you begin the upgrade, do the following:

If upgrading from version 1.x, then upgrade to version 2.0 first, then respectively to version 3.3 and 4.0, before upgrading to version 4.3. The policy migration process is performed only when upgrading to MVE 2.0.

Valid upgrade path

3.3 to 4.0 to 4.3

Invalid upgrade path

1.6.x to 4.3

2.0 to 4.3

  1. Back up your database and application files. 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.

    Warning—Potential Damage:  When you upgrade MVE, the database is changed. Do not restore a database backup that was created from a previous version.

    Note:  For more information, see Backing up and restoring the database.

  2. Download the executable file into a temporary location.

  3. Run the installer as an administrator, and then follow the instructions on the computer screen.

    Notes:

    • When you upgrade to MVE 2.0, policies that are assigned to printers are migrated into a single configuration for each printer model. For example, if fax, copy, paper, and print policies are assigned to an X792 printer, then those policies are consolidated into an X792 configuration. This process does not apply to policies that are not assigned to printers. MVE generates a log file confirming that the policies are migrated to a configuration successfully. For more information, see Markvision Enterprise FAQ.
    • After upgrading, make sure to clear the browser cache before accessing the application again.
    • When MVE is upgraded to version 3.5 or later, the advanced security components are factored out of the configurations that they are in. If one or more advanced security components are the same, then they are combined into one component. The created advanced security component is added to the advanced security components library automatically.
