are configured for automatic start up, temporarily change them to manual

• LS Communication Server

• LS License Server
• LS Linkage Server
• LS Login Driver
• LS OpenIT Service

7. Be sure all B.A.S.I.S. applications are closed on all workstations. Users
should not run any B.A.S.I.S. applications during the installation process.
8. If there is new firmware for the Lenel Digital Video recorders, upgrade this
firmware first.
9. Upgrade the B.A.S.I.S. Database Server before upgrading any client
computers.
10. After installing the latest B.A.S.I.S. software on the database server, upgrade
the computer that is hosting the LS License Server service.
11. Restart the LS License Server service and change it from manual to
automatic start up.
12. For an upgrade between major release versions of B.A.S.I.S., a new license
will be required. Be sure to install your new license using License
Administration. Otherwise, you will not be able to run Database Setup.
13. Upgrade the B.A.S.I.S. database by running the Database Setup application.
14. All B.A.S.I.S. Client Computers can be upgraded next. This includes all
Archive Servers. Software must not be restarted on a client computer until it
has been upgraded.
As client computers are upgraded, B.A.S.I.S. software (including BEST
Services) can be restarted. It is not necessary to wait until ALL clients are
upgraded to restart software on a client computer that has been upgraded.
15. If you have not already done so, restart all BEST Services. Remember to
change the appropriate services from manual to automatic start up.
16. If the new release contains updated BEST controller firmware, this can be
downloaded to the BEST controllers. It is not necessary to do this
immediately, but it should be done as soon as it is convenient. New features
will not be available until the firmware is updated. Sites with a large number
of controllers may find it useful to schedule firmware downloads via the
Scheduler application.
17. If the new release contains updated BEST interface gateway firmware, this
can be downloaded to the interface gateways. It is not necessary to do this
immediately, but it should be done as soon as it is convenient.
