4. Performing a version update
Please always check the release notes of the new version before starting the upgrade, because it might contains important information regarding the upgrade.
4.1. Produmex Manufacturing Add-on
The steps of a version upgrade for the Produmex Manufacturing add-on are identical to a new installation.
If you are upgrading from a version higher than 17.05, it is not required to uninstall the current version before starting the upgrade.
When the add-on is started the first time after the upgrade, the database setup will run.
In order to run the database setup, a database backup that was created within an hour is required on an MSSQL environment.
Please note: Before performing an SBO patch level upgrade, remove the foreign keys if there were installed. You can remove the foreign keys by: Tools > Produmex Manufacturing > Produmex Data Management > Remove Foreign Keys.
4.2. Produmex Service Broker
If you are upgrading from version 17.09 or higher, it is not required to install a new version of the Service Broker for an upgrade of Produmex PDC/Scan. If you are upgrading from a version previous to 17.09, please take the extra steps described here: Version 17.09. The steps of a version upgrade are identical to a new installation.
If you would like to uninstall the 32-bit DI API when upgrading to the 64-bit Service Broker, it is advised to uninstall both the 32-bit and the 64-bit DI API and then install the 64-bit DI API again because on certain SBO versions the uninstallation of the 32-bit DI API can cause issues for the 64-bit DI API.
