Install or Upgrade LANSA Composer Windows Servers Software

If LANSA Composer version 5.0 has not been previously installed on your Windows Server, you will be prompted to install it.

If you are upgrading LANSA Composer from version 4.0, you will use the same procedure as for a new installation, but for certain aspects of the new installation, you will need to provide the details that apply to your existing LANSA Composer version 4.0 installation. Please make sure you have read Plan Your Upgrade from LANSA Composer Version 4.0 and completed your Upgrade Plan before proceeding.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you are upgrading from LANSA Composer version 4.0, you must first request new LANSA Composer server licenses.  For more information refer to Appendix B. License LANSA Composer.

If you are upgrading LANSA Composer from an earlier version, you must upgrade first to version 4.0 and then to version 5.0.  Upgrading directly from earlier versions to version 5.0 is not supported.

NOTE:  As with any upgrade, you are strongly advised to make a backup of the LANSA Composer Windows server installation and the database that it uses before proceeding with the upgrade.

The LANSA Composer Server Setup wizard will prompt for a number of options that are essential to the correct operation of your LANSA Composer system.  It is strongly recommended that you read the descriptions of each step that follow, to ensure that you make the correct choices to ensure a successful first-time installation.
