Nways Manager for Windows NT Installation Guide

Migration

This chapter contains information on upgrading to Nways Manager Version 2.1 from a previous version of Nways Manager products.

Migrating from Nways Workgroup Manager Version 1.x or Nways Manager for Windows

If you are migrating from Nways Workgroup Manager 1.x or Nways Manager for Windows, you must uninstall these versions of the program, and install Nways Manager Version 2.1.

Note!
You will lose any stored configurations you have saved using these versions when you uninstall them.

Migrating from Nways Manager Version 2.0

Nways Manager Version 2.0 can be upgraded to Version 2.1. Because this upgrade is not a complete uninstall and install, the installation program will save all user-defined settings and will require significantly less free disk space than a new install.

When beginning the installation, the installation program will query the registry to detect Nways Manager Version 2.0. If it finds Version 2.0, it will install the new program in the same drive and directory as the previous version. If the Version 2.0 program was a fully licensed version, then the installation will automatically update the license information and install a fully licensed version of 2.1. To migrate to Nways Manager Version 2.1 from Version 2.0:

1. Insert the Nways Manager for Windows NT Version 2.1 CD into the drive. Do not stop the process if autorun is enabled. If autorun is disabled, click on Start -> Run.... Enter e:\setup.exe, where e is the CD drive.
2. Click Next at the Welcome box.
3. The installation program will query the registry and inform you where Nways Manager Version 2.0 is located, and will install Version 2.1 over it. Click OK.
4. Select which components to install, and click Next.
5. Click Yes at the Program License Agreement dialog box.
6. At this point, the Nways Manager installation program will check your system for the hardware prerequisites. It will inform you of any prerequisites which need attention.

   Steps 7 through 12 will only appear if you are upgrading from a version 2.0 trial version. If you are upgrading from a fully licensed version of Nways Manager for Windows NT Version 2.0, then this information will automatically be transferred from your previous version.

7. Select the license you will be installing: Suite, Element Manager, or None (Installs demonstration versions of all components).
8. Click Next.
9. Enter node count if you are not installing a trial version (enter 9999 if you have a license for unlimited nodes).
10. Click Next.
11. Click OK when the program reports that the keys were copied successfully.
12. Click OK in the box when it displays, "License Successfully Enrolled."
13. Click OK in the next box, which begins the file copying process.
14. When the files finish copying, select Next to run the Config Tool Locator.
15. Select the drives you want the Config Tool Locator to search. Click Start Search, or File -> Exit to run it later.
16. When the Config Tool finishes searching, select the desired files and click Refit.
17. Select whether or not to launch the Readme file, and click Finished.

    At this point, the other applications which you have selected will be installed. After all other products install, you will see steps 18 and 19.

18. Select the button to restart the computer.
19. Click Finish.
