If the Update folder has not been defined in the Default Directories dialog box, users need to update Tekla EPM on each client workstation manually.
Before you update any client workstation, note that:
-
The server computer needs to be already updated and the Tekla EPM Remote Server needs to be
stopped. While the server computer is updating, Tekla EPM has to be closed on all client workstations.
-
Signing in to Tekla EPM on the server computer needs to be done, so that any necessary database
structure changes are run.
-
To connect and share information, all workstations in your company need to
have the same version of Tekla EPM as the server computer.
-
Download the desired update from
downloads.tekla.com.
-
Close Tekla EPM.
-
Go to the location where you
downloaded the update, and double-click the update.
-
In the Tekla EPM License Agreement wizard, review the license agreement.
-
Select Accept.
-
At the bottom-right corner, click Next
>.
-
Select Update as the install type, and ensure that
Update Existing Program Files is selected.
-
At the bottom-right corner, click Next
>.
-
In the Destination Folder field, check the location where the update will be installed.
-
To install the update, click Install.
-
If Tekla EPM asks you to close Tekla EPM and stop the remote server, click Yes to both.
-
When the update has been installed, click Close to close the installation window.
-
Sign in to Tekla EPM.
Note that sometimes when you
log in to
Tekla EPM after an update, you may get the following messages:
-
A message saying that
the current database needs to be updated.
Click OK.
-
A message confirming
that the database should be updated.
Click Yes.
-
A message asking you
to allow creating a backup copy of the current database.
Click OK, create a backup, and save it to the desired location.
Tekla EPM will continue to update any information that needs to be updated.
You can now start working in the updated version of Tekla EPM.
