4.2-BSNEE Upgrade Guide


This section will guide you through the process of upgrading your BSNEE services to version 4.2. Note that you can only use the 4.2 Upgrade Installer to upgrade from BSNEE version 4.1. BSNEE 4.1 installations that were upgraded using a previous version of the Upgrade Installer are also supported.

The BSNEE upgrade installer can only upgrade standard BSNEE installs with standard database schema. However, BSNEE installs with customized WebUI files are supported.

What’s New in BSNEE 4.2?

The following features and improvements have been implemented since the previous version of BSNEE (4.1):

  • Player Tagging: You can now add tags to players in the Current Usage tab of the WebUI. This allows you to search players on your BSN account using an unlimited number of customizable criteria.
  • New HTML Uploader: The WebUI no longer requires Microsoft Silverlight to upload files.
    • The upload destination is now determined by the folder currently selected in the Library side bar (previously, all files would be placed in the Incoming folder automatically).
    • Files are checked by name and hash value when uploaded, and users are given the option of skipping or re-uploading duplicate files.
    • The speed and stability of the uploader has improved.
  • Proxy Bypass: You can use the Manage tab in BrightAuthor to edit Proxy Bypass settings on players (requires BrightAuthor 4.4.0.x or later).
