This section describes how to upgrade your license and add or reinstall components to a current version installation. If you are installing or upgrading to the Advanced Edition of EAServer, make sure you have the EAServer 5.2 product license information available before you run the setup program. The license management certificate is enclosed in an envelope in the shipping box.
If you do not enter any license information, the server defaults to the Workgroup Edition. Incorrect license values are not supported; the installer does not proceed with incorrect values.
To proceed, run the setup program as described in “Installing EAServer”, and select an installation directory that contains an EAServer installation. Depending on the version of the installation that is detected, you are prompted with one or more of these options:
Upgrade license – allows you to upgrade an existing EAServer 5.2 installation by providing different license information.
Add components – allows you to add components or features to an existing EAServer 5.2 installation.
Reinstall – allows you to reinstall EAServer 5.2 over an existing EAServer 5.2 installation.
Each of these procedures is described below.
Installation directory
You must select the EAServer installation directory, and not
the upper-level Sybase location to properly upgrade, add components, or
reinstall EAServer. For example, if you selected /work/sybase as
your original installation directory, the default EAServer installation
directory is /work/sybase/EAServer.
When you upgrade, add components, or reinstall EAServer, enter /work/sybase/EAServer as
the installation directory you are upgrading.
Select the Upgrade License option to upgrade your license. Click Next.
Provide the order number, feature name, and authorization code, which are located on the license management certificate enclosed in an envelope in the shipping box. Click Next.
The installer displays a message stating the license has been successfully upgraded. Click Finish.
Select Add Components to add components to an existing EAServer 5.2 installation. Click Next.
The installer prompts you for the type of installation to which you will add components: Client Runtime Only or Custom. Select Client Runtime Only if you are adding components to a client installation. Select Custom for all other types of installations. Click Next.
The installer indicates the components that are already installed by placing (installed) next to those components. Select the components to add.
Verify that the EAServer directory is correct and that the features being added are correct. Click Next.
The installer starts adding components to the installation. You may be prompted to overwrite existing files. Click Yes to continue.
When the components have been added, the installer displays a message that EAServer has been successfully installed. Click Finish.
Select Reinstall to reinstall EAServer 5.2 over an existing EAServer 5.2 installation.
The installer prompts you for the type of reinstallation: Typical, Client Runtime Only, Full, or Custom. If you select Typical or Full installation type, a default set of features is reinstalled. Custom and Client Runtime Only allow you to modify your selections. Click Next.
For Custom and Client Runtime Only reinstallations, place a check mark next to the components to reinstall. The installer indicates the components that are already installed by displaying “installed” next to those components.
The installer displays a message when EAServer has been successfully reinstalled. Select Start Server to start the server or View Readme to display the readme file. Click Next.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
