...

Once all components meet the requirements for installation, you will be able to click Next tocontinue.

Note
titleNote

Customized database schemata are not supported by the upgrade installer. Clicking Next will return an error message if your BSNEE install contains customized database schema.

Database Server

The Database Server step will only appear if you do not currently have access to the MS SQL Server where the BSNEE database is located. If this step does not appear after the Customized Files step, you can move on to the Backup Database step.

  • Automatic Deployment: If you do not have authorization to modify the BSNEE database, you will need to enter valid SQL Server credentials.
  • Manual Deployment: If you select this option, the BSNEE upgrade installer will not modify the database, allowing you to upgrade BSNEE without needing permissions for the BSNEE database. However, you will need to update the database manually using an update script: Contact BrightSign support (support@brightsign.biz) to obtain this script.

Backup Database

Check the Backup Database box to enable automatic rollback of the BSNEE database in case the upgrade process fails during installation. If the upgrade installation process is completed successfully, you will not be able to use this option to recover the previous BSNEE install. You should leave this box checked unless you have other means for backing up the database.

...

Click Next to confirm the backup parameters you have chosen.

Bindings Configuration

The Base Domain Name must remain the same during the BSNEE upgrade process. Select each node to change the bindings for that node.

...

Click the Next button when you have completed the bindings configuration.

Network Options

Check the Enable Subscriptions Management box if you wish to maintain the subscription system for devices on your BSNEE instance. Unchecking this box will give all devices permanent Grace subscriptions and will disable all scheduler and UI functions associated with subscriptions.
