Identify whether to install or upgrade Adaptive Server.
The instructions in this guide differ depending on whether you are installing or upgrading Adaptive Server. Identify that which best fits your scenario:
- No Adaptive Server installed – if you never had Adaptive Server on your machine, perform all of the prerequisite tasks then see the installation instructions.
- Adaptive Server currently installed, running a version earlier than 15.x – is a major—or full—upgrade.
- Adaptive Server currently installed, running version 15.x or later – is a minor upgrade that is performed automatically through a binary overlay, with no manual steps involved.
