The Velocity Update must be used to update an existing Velocity 3.6 (or higher) release to version 3.8.5 instead of the Velocity Installer. The update wizard will run on your licensed Velocity Server; your Velocity Clients will be updated automatically.
Before performing the procedure below, be sure to follow the instructions in these topics:
Prerequisites
.NET Framework 4.8 is required or should be available prior
msoledbsql. msi installer is required to install the OLE DB Driver or should be available prior.
Run the Velocity_Update_3.8.5(build-3.8.5.xxx).exe file for Velocity, or contact your certified Hirsch/Identiv dealer to obtain the appropriate Velocity update version Wizard.
Copy the Velocity Update Wizard to your licensed Velocity Server, and run it on that computer.
A window displays the list of unsupported features starting from v3.8.5. Click Continue to proceed.
If you want to work on the unsupported features, call Identiv Technical Support to turn them ON.
4. Scroll down to the bottom to click the Accept button in EULA.
5. Click Yes to backup the database before making the changes, or select No if you don’t wish.
6. When prompted, choose whether to automatically restart the Velocity services after the update has finished by clicking either the Yes or the No button.
7. When prompted, choose whether to start Velocity after the update has finished by clicking either the Yes or the No button.
8. If your existing Velocity system detects Velocity Web Services Client (VWSC) is not installed, a window prompts you to Install the update.
A series of progress dialogs are displayed.
The Velocity Update Wizard detects and installs the prerequisites that are required.
The wizard installs all the specified prerequisites to monitor if any one of them requires a reboot. The updater reboots the system if the prerequisites need a reboot at the end.
9. The Velocity Update Wizard prompts for a system restart. Click Yes to restart.
The computer restarts only if .NET Framework 4.8 is not installed on the system.
10. After the system restart, the update wizard will continue to run automatically, or you must run the update wizard manually.
11. A series of dialog similar to steps 2 to 9 appears. Take the same action as you have done in steps 2 to 9 until you see the VWSC Installer window below. Click Next.
12. After the installer inspects your system for the prerequisites, a screen like the one below displays.
If the system inspection for the prerequisites fails, configure the system with the requirements and press the Refresh button.
13. Enter the Service Account and Password for the Service Configuration and click Next to proceed.
14. The series of dialog windows show the progress of the VWSC installation until you see a window like the one below. Click Next.
15. The VWSC Installation completion window displays.
As each Velocity Client reconnects to the updated Velocity Server, that client will restart and automatically be updated.
