Server Upgrade for Existing Installations

The Lucity Server should be installed only in one location*, and the installation should take place at a workstation connected to the server, rather than at the server itself (except in the case of a completely local server install). Installation instructions may vary slightly depending on the database (SQL Server or Oracle) being used.

Lucity recommends that the user closes all Windows applications before installing the Lucity software suite.

* It is necessary and acceptable to install another copy of Lucity Server when setting up a dedicated Testing environment.

Getting Started:

  1. Open the Lucity install media and run Setup.exe. The following screen appears:

    Note: Lucity strongly suggests running the server installation/upgrade directly on a desktop machine to ensures that the paths used during the installation/configuration are valid network paths.
