2020.1

Upgrading from previous Connect versions
Always backup before upgrading
It is recommended that you always backup your existing Connect preferences before upgrading
to a new version. This will enable you to revert back to the previous version, in a worst case
scenario in which the new version introduces issues with your existing production processes.
Whilst the probability of such a worst case scenario is remote, it cannot hurt to take some
simple precautions, just in case.
For instructions on how to do so, please see "Backup existing Connect version" on the next
page.
Note
The scheduling settings in version 2019.2 have changed. Please make sure to record your current
scheduling settings for reference before proceeding with an upgrade.
Users of Connect prior to 2019.1
Users of all Connect versions prior to 2019.1 should note that Update Client 1.2.40 is a
prerequisite for both OL Connect 2019.1 and Connect Workflow 2019.1 installations. Only
Update Client 1.2.40 has the capacity to upgrade the OL Connect license to the newer format
that is required by the installers of those products.
If you do not have Update Client version 1.2.40 installed already, then the next time you run
your Update Client it will show that there is an update available of itself to Version 1.2.40 (or
later).
Simply click on the “Install” icon to initiate the upgrade.
For further details on how to upgrade the Update Client and update your Connect License see
the Update Client 1.2.40 Upgrade Guide.
Note that an erroneous or incomplete uninstall before a reinstall or upgrade to a newer version
of OL Connect may cause issues (see Product or engine exits within a second of starting in
Connect's Knowledge Base).
