Performing an Upgrade

Upgrading the Server

• This process applies to OrthoTrac versions 10.0 and greater. Your practice must use OrthoTrac 10.0 or a newer version before upgrading to version 15.X of the software.

Before you begin:

• Run a daily backup of important data (the entire OrthoTrac installation folder from the server and the SQL database files), review this installation guide, and shut down all workstations.

• See the OrthoTrac Online Help for more information on preparing the SQL database backup.

To update OrthoTrac on the server:

1. Shut down all workstations in your network, and alert all users to refrain from using the software until the installation is complete.

2. Restart the server.

3. Before installing OrthoTrac on the server, log in as a user with full administrative rights.

3. Navigate to the folder where the Installer files are saved. Locate and double-click the OrthoTrac15.X.ISO file. You are prompted to confirm that you are installing on your server computer.

4. Click Yes. The OrthoTrac v15.X Install Menu window is displayed.

 

5. Verify that all programs are closed, and click Install OrthoTrac v15.X. The Welcome window is displayed.

6. Click Next. The OrthoTrac 15.X SQL Server Version Verification window is displayed.

After verifying that you have upgraded to a supported version of Microsoft SQL Server, select I confirm that I understand SQL 2005/SQL 2008 and SQL Server 2014 or older, are no longer supported by OrthoTrac.

7. Click Next. The Installation Type window is displayed.

Confirm that all computers in your practice meet the minimum system requirements and select I acknowledge that I have read the current system requirements and understand the hardware and software requirements described therein.

8. Click Next. The Getting Ready for OrthoTrac 15.X window is displayed.

9. Review the information, and click Next. The Start Installation window is displayed.

10. Review the information, and click Next. The Components to be Installed window is displayed.

8. If you have an existing SQL Server installation that meets the release requirements, select Use existing SQL Server install.

11. Click Next. The Choose Destination Location window is displayed. Typically, the destination location defaults to the folder containing OrthoTrac, and this location should not be changed.

12. Click Next. The Start Update window is displayed.

13. Click Next. The setup program copies OrthoTrac to your computer.

The OrthoTrac Update window asks if you want to create a backup of your database.

14. Click Yes. The installation is completed, and the Install window is displayed, prompting you to restart your computer.

15. Click OK. You can now update the software on your workstations.
