Upgrade From 4.2.0.52 to Latest Version

[mtcuser]

Hello. I am currently running version 4.2.0.52 of Lansweeper. I would like to update it the latest version. Lansweeper has significantly changed since the currently installed version.

Is there anything I should do to prepare the current install for the upgrade to the new version? Will the installer be able to do the upgrade without any hassles? I do not want to lose or mess up all of my data, users, custom actions, etc.

I will do a full backup prior to starting the install.

Database schema: 16
Website version: 4028
Server Version 4.2.0.52

Thank you for your help.

The upgrade went mostly smooth upgrading to 5.1.0.54. The only issue I had was I had to change IIS web site for Lansweeper to use ASP.net 4.0 instead of ASP.net 2.0. This can be changed in the web site properties on the ASP.net tab. I got some errors until I did that.

The important things like my data, users, custom actions, etc all came through fine.

Thank you for linking to the guide and making Lansweeper upgrades quick and painless. 🙂
