Manual upgrade from 4.8 to the latest service release

Step 1 - Check system requirements and release notes

Check system requirements and prerequisites,  full release notes and breaking changes.

Step 2 - Download and unblock the zip-files

Due to a Microsoft security fix you need to unblock the zip-file after downloading. Right click the .zip file (in Windows Explorer), select "Properties", and then "Unblock".

Step 3 - Create backup

Create a full backup of your database, files and www root folder.

Step 4 - Update the database

When the process has begun, the website is not accessible for users and all users that are logged in will be disconnected and logged out. All script files are found in the compressed file Upgrade.zip in folder DB\Scripts.

Run the DB-scripts listed below. After each script has executed, check the result panel for red error messages. If an error is exposed check the error message and decide whether to rollback your backup or continue.

1. UpgradeTo48x.sql
2. Functions.sql
3. Stored_Procedures.sql
4. Triggers.sql

Step 5 - Update the files in the web root folder

Some files in the web root have been changed and need to be replaced on the server.

1. Remove the bin and Litium Studio folders found in the web root folder of your installation.
2. Copy the web.config, bin and Litium Studio folders from the Deploy folder to the web root. The Deploy folder is found in the compressed Upgrade.zip file.
3. The Web.config file has been replaced. Update the new file with the correct information (from your backup).
4. Check that your custom templates are working as expected. If based on the default templates, we recommend that you check the changes done to default templates.
5. Check that all specific installation changes and components will build with the new assemblies.
