This topic describes upgrading the self-deployed License Server that ships with its own Tomcat server.

Windows

1. Run Stop License Server by running the stopLS.bat script as an administrator for the License Server you are upgrading from.
   

   Note
   If you used an application like File Explorer to run stopLS.bat, close it before proceeding. In order to prevent potential file corruption during the upgrade process, License Server will not allow you to upgrade if there are any processes running in your License Server directories.

2. Unzip the latest License Server to a temporary directory.
3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the <LS_TEMP>/app directory.

4. Run the upgrade.bat script as an administrator with the -o option and specify the path to the old version of License Server:

   Code Block
   upgrade.bat -o <absolute_path_to_old_LS_install_dir>

   You can also run the script with the -h option to print the script help to the console.

5. The script makes a backup of the existing installation and updates the old installation location with the latest version.
6. Delete the temporary directory (step 2).

Linux

1. Run Stop License Server by running the stopLS.sh script as an administrator for the License Server you are upgrading from.
2. Unzip the latest License Server to a temporary directory.
3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the <LS_TEMP>/app directory.

4. Run the upgrade.sh script as an administrator with the -o option and specify the path to the old version of License Server:

   Code Block
   ./upgrade.sh -o <absolute_path_to_old_LS_install_dir>

   You can also run the script with the -h option to print the script help to the console.

5. The script makes a backup of the existing installation and updates the old installation location with the latest version.
