To benefit from the latest enhancements to Security Center, you must upgrade the expansion servers.
To upgrade, install Security Center Server onto the
expansion servers, and follow the instructions in the InstallShield Wizard.
Before you begin
Back up all role databases accessed from your expansion server you are
upgrading.
What you should know
If a reboot warning
message box opens during the upgrade, accept the message and continue with the
upgrade procedure. You must reboot after completing the
upgrade.
Procedure
-
Install
Security Center
5.10 on your expansion server.
Use the Expansion server installation type.
If you have
Genetecâ„¢ Advantage and are subscribed to our Product
Improvement Program, and if the version you want to install corresponds to the most up to
date version, you have the option to perform the upgrade through GUS instead of the installer.
If you choose to continue with GUS, the Installer program ends and automatically
connects you to the Main GUS. The Main GUS displays a centralized view of all enrolled
machines and sends update notifications to them. GUS always backs up the Directory
database for you, so you don't need to do it before the upgrade. For more information, see About the Genetecâ„¢ Update Service.
If you choose to continue with the installer, the Installer program
automatically detects an earlier version of Security Center and issues warnings and
recommendations. Read the messages carefully.
If you continue, the Installer program upgrades Security Center to 5.10.

If you are running a version of SQL Server Express that is not the latest, but one that
is upgradable to SQL Server 2019 Express, the Installer program will offer to upgrade it
automatically.
Choose one of the following:
- (Recommended) Let the installer upgrade your SQL Server instance to SQL Server
2019 Express:
- Click Cancel to close the message box, then click
Cancel to cancel the installation.
- If you haven't backed up your databases recently, do it now.
- Rerun the installer.
- Click Yes to upgrade your SQL Server instance to SQL Server
2019 Express and continue with the installation.
- Click No to continue with the installation without
upgrading your SQL Server instance.
-
If you are running SQL Server 2014 Express SP1 or earlier, the Installer program cannot
upgrade it to SQL Server 2019 Express.
Choose one of the following:
- (Recommended) Upgrade your SQL Server instance to SQL Server 2019 Express:
- Click Cancel to close the message box, then click
Cancel to cancel the installation.
- If you haven't backed up your databases recently, do it now.
- Download and run the SQL Server 2014 SP2 Installer.
- Restart your server.
- Rerun the Security Center
Installer.
- Click OK to continue with the installation without
upgrading your SQL Server instance.
-
If you are upgrading a Directory server (Failover Directory configuration),
make sure that on the Directory Database Backup page, you
clear the option Automatically back up the Directory database before
restarting the system to avoid backing up the Directory database
twice.
-
Repeat the steps for all expansion servers in your system.
After you finish
To verify that all servers in your system are active, log on to the main server
with
Config
Tool. In the
Network
view task, all the servers in your system should be shown in black, which means
they are active. If some of the roles are still not active, you might need to
upgrade the Directory
database.
