Manual updating

Generally, the Ocularis 5 Recorder system can be patched or updated automatically by the AutoUpdater. If the AutoUpdater is configured correctly, uninstalling the previous version of Ocularis 5 Recorder is not required before updating to a newer version.

Before updating the system manually, make sure that your system meets the hardware and software requirements (see System requirements).

  1. Manually backup the CONF directory (C:\Program Files\OnSSI\Ocularis Recorder\conf).
  2. Manually backup the administration database MaxDB (C:\Program Files\OnSSI\Ocularis Recorder\SAPDB\backup).
  3. Uninstall the current version with the Windows control panel. The folder structure and the database remain intact.
  4. Install the new Ocularis 5 Recorder R8 software.
  5. Import the new license file (see Info).
