Installing the upgrade on a PC

You install and start a new version of Workbench following the same steps documented in the Software Installation chapter. This procedure summarizes the installation steps.
Prerequisites: You are working in Workbench. You have either a distribution file or a copy of the Supervisor station and controller station(s).
  1. Using the Platform > Application Director disable Auto-Start and Restart on Failure, and stop the current Supervisor station.
  2. To install Workbench, extract the new software build and run the installer program.
  3. Follow the installation wizard as it sets up the System Home, User Home folders and shortcuts.
  4. Copy an updated license file to the C:\niagara\niagara[version numbers]\security\licenses folder of the new build.
  5. Start Workbench and open a platform connection to the Supervisor.
At this point, you can use the upgraded installation to upgrade the software on a controller by commissioning the controller. But, before you commission, you should restore the Supervisor station.
