Upgrading Installation

If you have the Monarch Server application v13.0/v12.5 installed on your computer, you need to remove the previous version of the application before installing Monarch Server v2021.0.

NOTE

Before uninstalling the previous version, ensure that you are able to restore the original environment, either wholly (e.g., full server/resource backups) or at minimum; the backups of the Monarch Server database; and all file-based resources dependent on the RMS, Automator, and Content functionalities being utilized.

 

To remove the previous version of Monarch Server

1.     Run the MonarchServerv13x86.msi file from your installation media (MonarchServerv13x64.msi in case of 64-bit Windows), or use the Add/Remove Programs shortcut in the system’s Control Panel. The Monarch Server v13.0/v12.5 Setup Wizard is launched.

2.     Click Next and select the Remove option. Follow the instructions on the screen. When the operation is complete, the corresponding message will appear.

3.     Click Finish to exit the Setup Wizard.

 

You also need to remove the previous version of Web Installation.

To remove the previous version of Web Installation

1.     Run the MonarchServerWebv13x86.msi file from your installation media (MonarchServerWebv13x64.msi in case of 64-bit Windows), or use the Add/Remove Programs shortcut in the system’s Control Panel. The Monarch Server Web v13.0/v12.5 Setup Wizard is launched.

2.     Click Next and select the Remove option. Follow the instructions on the screen. When the operation is complete, the corresponding message will appear.

3.     Click Finish to exit the Setup Wizard.

 

After performing these steps, you need to run the version installation as specified in the Single Server Installation section of this guide.

If you have the distributed installation of Monarch Server v13.0/v12.5, you need to remove the application and Web Installation from all servers. Then, you need to run the version installation as specified in the Distributed Installation section of this guide.

 

NOTE

Before uninstalling the previous version, you can back up the config.xml file and web.config files to use some settings from these files after the installation of Monarch Server v2021.0.
