Running the Server and Web Console installer wizard
The Server installer will install or update Servers and Web Console to 5.6.x.
Installing or updating Server and Web Console 5.6.x
You can install Corticon Servers and the Web Console on a machine that does not already have them installed. If you are upgrading from 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5, you can install 5.6 as a separate installed software version on the same machine. You must manage any port overloads that might result from running both versions.
Note: An installed version of Corticon Server 5.2 or earlier on the target machine must be uninstalled, then Corticon Server 5.6 installed. Consult with Progress Corticon Support or your Progress representative to consider your migration strategies for existing assets before you take action.
Installation procedure
If you have already installed either of the 5.6 Servers or the Web Console, the installer will allow you to install components not previously installed, as well as update all installed components to the latest Service Pack.
