Before updating the server applications, it is required to upload the update package to the Eocortex Configurator application on the computer. The package can be downloaded following the Load updates link, or Replace update package in case the update package of another version has already been downloaded. It is required to download the file of the complete distribution package: EocortexMainCommon Installer.exe.

Note

The most up-to-date version of Eocortex can be downloaded from the eocortex.com website at the Support / Software Installation Packages Supported page.

To update the server, it is required to perform the following procedure on the server in the System servers update table:

  • For the servers with the Not downloaded status: perform the Download ... action.

  • For the servers with the Loaded status: perform the /svg/ico-down.png Install version ... action.

For the server with the Already installed status the /svg/ico-undo.png Roll back to ... action is available, allowing to roll the server back to the previous version. In this case all the server settings go back to the values existing before the update.

Note

If the server was updated using the centralized update procedure more than once, it is possible to roll back to any previous version in the opposite order, step by step.

Warning

The centralized update is available only for the Eocortex Server and Eocortex Standalone applications. For the Eocortex NVR application the centralized update is not available.

Note

The Eocortex server applications can be updated not only to the newer versions, but also to the older ones, provided that the first two digits of the version number are the same.

Warning

To centrally upgrade servers to version 4.0 or higher, first upgrade those servers to version 3.6.57 or higher Otherwise, servers can be updated up to two versions ahead without the need to pre-update to version 3.6.57.
