Laserfiche Installation and Upgrades

Updated January 21, 2014

asked on January 17, 2014

We've purchased upgrades to our existing Laserfiche installation. We previously had Laserfiche Standard Server and Weblink. We now have Avante Records Management Server, Audit Trail, Weblink, Web Access, Forms, Workflow, and Quick Fields. My question, is there any preferred order that these components should installed and configured or does it not matter ?

I have attached the Laserfiche Avante 9.1 Deployment Guide for your reference.

Check page 9:

Once you have installed the Server, install the Laserfiche Client. The Laserfiche Client installation also includes associated applications, such as the desktop Administration Console, Scanning, Snapshot and PhotoDocs. The Laserfiche Client installation does not require a license file as of Laserfiche 8.2 and later. For more information, see Installing the Laserfiche Client in the Administration Guide.

As Alex mentioned, you should install the server first. As far as I know, there is no particular install order for, say, Forms before or after your Web Access Server, because neither product depends on the other.

I would recommend upgrading the Laserfiche Server first and then do the rest of the client side applications. There isn't a strict order for those, but depending on how your processes are in place, some applications may need to be configured before others for the least amount of down time.

I don't have the link for it in front of me, but I'd recommend checking out the Laserfiche Avante 9 deployment guide on the support site. It's a really good resource for this sort of thing.

Acutally, the Deployment Guide references nothing about a suggested installation order. It would come in handy especially when planning hardware needs.
