Can a version 9.0.3 to 9.1 upgrade be accomplished by a relatively new user?

asked on April 6, 2015

I've got decades of experience in IT (programmer and admin), but am new to LaserFiche. I have been tasked with installing LaserFiche Forms, which in our environment includes upgrading the base LaserFiche product from 9.0.3 to 9.1. I will be performing this installation/upgrade in a standalone Development environment, not our production system.

Is this something I can realistically expect to do myself? Or do I need to work with a VAR to get the installation done correctly? I have a VAR on the line, and I'm getting some pressure there, met by pressure from my own management to contain costs. If it is simply a process of making sure I have backups and running a setup.exe, I think I can handle it.

Any comments?

Upgrading from 9.0.x to 9.1 or 9.2 should be relatively simple. The installation files will detect that you are upgrading, perform necessary upgrades to databases and will let you know if anything is missing. If it is your first time though, I wouldn't recommend upgrading your production environment straight away! A few tips off the top of my head:

Check out this Upgrading to Laserfiche 9.2 whitepaper.
Check out our help files. A list of them can be found here.
Install files can be found in the Download section of the Laserfiche Support site.
Backup all your databases and files before you begin.
Currently, Laserfiche 9.2 is the latest version. You upgrade from straight to 9.2 from 9.0

Hope that helps!
