Update Installation on Windows

You must have Administrator privileges on your Windows system to run an update installation.

  • Server Intelligence Agent (SIA)
  • Central Management Server (CMS)
  • Input and Output File Repository Servers (FRS)
  • CMS system database

These services and servers must be running for the installation to proceed.

Note If you are updating a product that contains server components, the installation program prompts you for information for your deployment's Central Management Server (CMS). This is required to update content that is stored in the CMS database, such as localized strings for server properties.
