Manual updating

Generally, the Ocularis 5 Recorder system can be patched or updated automatically by the AutoUpdater. If the AutoUpdater is configured correctly, uninstalling the previous version of Ocularis 5 Recorder is not required before updating to a newer version.

Before updating the system manually, make sure that your system meets the hardware and software requirements (see System requirements).

  1. Manually backup the CONF directory (C:\Program Files\OnSSI\Ocularis Recorder\conf).
  2. Manually backup the administration database MaxDB (C:\Program Files\OnSSI\Ocularis Recorder\SAPDB\backup).
  3. Uninstall the current version with the Windows control panel. The folder structure and the database remain intact.
  4. Install the new version of the software.
  5. Import the new license file (see Info).
Always check the latest Release Notes for any specific instructions that may apply to a particular upgrade.
