Upgrade Instructions

Instructions

Please note that all machines running Omni need to be updated.

Do a backup of the data first.

Double click on the file to run the update

Follow the prompts on the screen checking that the destination folder is the same as the folder that your Omni has been installed into (usually C:\Omni)

You will get to a screen asking whether you are updating a client or server. Tick the box if you are updating a stand alone machine or a server. If you are updating a client machine, un-tick the box.

The program files will now be updated.

If you are updating a server (or stand-alone machine) then the following extra steps need to be followed :

	A password box comes up next. You will need to put in the user name of a user who has administrator rights (normally Admin with no password).

	Another chance to backup if you have forgotten to do so. The data upgrade wizard will appear. You will notice 2 tabs at the top, Settings and Advanced. Under settings make sure that there is a tick in each box thereby selecting all the companies to be upgraded. The advanced tab should not need to be changed at all.

	Click Upgrade to start the data upgrade

	This process could take up to about 10 minutes to finish. For each company which is upgraded a black DOS window will appear. When you see "press any key to continue", press a key and then close the window with the X in the top right-hand corner.

	Once all the companies have been upgraded a window will appear saying that the upgrade is complete. Click the OK button to continue.

	A window appears asking if you would like to restore your default/original settings. Click the yes button.

	Ensure that all 3 boxes are ticked and click reset When asked if you are sure click on yes. If you are asked if you wish to add some information to the registry just click yes as well.

If you are updating a client do the following once the upgrade is complete :

	Log into the Omni Control Centre

	Click on Options and then Clear Settings

	Ensure that all 3 boxes are ticked and click reset When asked if you are sure click on yes. If you are asked if you wish to add some information to the registry just click yes as well.

	Close the Control Centre.

The update process is now complete.
