When you purchase more nodes (seats) for your concurrent-user
edition of a Summation Blaze LG product (Blaze LG, LG Gold, or iBlaze), you
will be given an installation code that reflects your new licensing information.
Along with the new installation code, you will also need a copy of the Blaze
LG server (not network-client) on your local network or hard-drive to complete
the node upgrade process. This is available
either
on
CD or downloaded from
Summation's
web site.
Note that upgrading the maximum concurrent users on
Blaze LG Versions 1.x to 2.0 must be done on the network workstation from
which the installation of the Blaze LG product was originally run. Version
2.5 or later of the Blaze LG product line can have the concurrent user limit
upgraded from any workstation with network access to the Blaze LG product
network program location.
If the existing server system is a pre-2.5.0
Blaze LG product (not including iBlaze 5.x) or a 2.5.0 or later system that
was installed using the "Legacy Installation" option, it is recommended
that you perform this upgrade process from the workstation that was originally
used to install the server software. If the workstation that was originally
used to install the pre-2.5.0 system is not available, then this upgrade
process can be performed from any network-client workstation that has network
access to the Summation server.
If the existing server system is a 2.5.x (or
later) Blaze LG/iBlaze system, this upgrade process can be performed from
any network-client workstation that has network access to the Summation server.
Upgrading your Blaze LG software with additional nodes
also presents an excellent opportunity to update to the latest version number.
Updating to the latest version makes the latest features and enhancements
available to all your Blaze LG network users, but requires that each workstation
receive an update as well as the server. Upgrading the maximum concurrent
users requires only an update to the server installation.
During the node upgrade process, you may also consider
upgrading your concurrent-user system to the latest available version, or
to "trade up" from Blaze LG to LG Gold, or from LG Gold to iBlaze. If you
decide to perform a version upgrade or a trade-up at the same time, the network-client
software must be updated on each workstation to reflect the changes in the
new version and/or trade-up. If the same version is used during the node
upgrade process, the network-client software does not need to be updated
on each workstation. Follow the appropriate steps below depending on your
upgrade scenario.
- Place the installation CD in the CD drive of the network-client workstation
(you can also double-click to run the installation executable file
downloaded from Summation).
- When prompted in the Summation Blaze Setup Launcher
window, select "Install a New System," and click "Next." (If the CD does
not auto-run, browse to the CD and double-click the Launcher.exe file.)
- Enter the new installation code provided with your
new licensing information, and click "Next."
- Read and accept the terms of the License Agreement,
and click "Next."
- Enter the UNC path to your current shared network
directory on the Summation server (for example, \\MyServer\Summation\iBlaze),
or click the ellipsis button to browse to the shared network location on
the Summation server. Click "Start."
- The Summation InstallShield Wizard prepares and
installs the new license information and new system files (if you are upgrading
to a newer version at the same time) into the shared network directory.
- When the final dialog box signals the completion
of the installation process, click "OK."
If the installation CD used is the same version as
your original concurrent-user system (if you are upgrading nodes only), existing
network-client workstations do not need to be updated. However, you can start
installing the network-client software on new workstations to use the increased
number of nodes. To install the network-client software on new workstations,
follow the instructions in the Installation Guide.
If the installation CD used is a later version than
your original concurrent-user system (if you are upgrading nodes and the
version), all existing network-client workstations should be updated by following
the instructions in the Installation Guide.
- Place the installation
CD in the CD drive of the network-client workstation (you can also double-click
to run the installation executable file downloaded from Summation).
- When prompted in the Summation Blaze Setup Launcher
window, select "Tradeup to Blaze LG Gold or iBlaze," and click "Next."
(If the CD does not auto-run, browse to the CD and double-click the Launcher.exe
file.)
- Enter the new installation code provided with the
new licensing information. Click "Next."
- Read and accept the terms of the License Agreement,
and click "Next."
- Enter the UNC path to your current shared network
directory on the Summation server (for example, \\MyServer\Summation\iBlaze),
or click the ellipsis button to browse to the shared network directory
on the Summation server. Click "Start."
- The Summation InstallShield Wizard prepares and
installs the new license information and added features to the current
shared network directory.
- When the final dialog box signals the completion
of the installation process, click "OK."
If the installation CD used is the same version as
your original concurrent-user system (if you are upgrading nodes only), existing
network-client workstations do not need to be updated. However, you can start
installing the network-client software on new workstations to use the increased
number of nodes. To install the network-client software on new workstations,
follow the instructions in the Installation Guide.
If the installation CD used is a later version than
your original concurrent-user system (if you are upgrading nodes and the
version), all existing network-client workstations should be updated by following
the instructions in the Installation Guide.
