Upgrading InfoPrint Manager to the latest version

Start here for an upgrade installation

This section describes how to begin an upgrade installation of a pre-existing InfoPrint Manager system. If you are not performing an upgrade installation, see Installation options for other options.

Important: Upgrading to the latest InfoPrint Manager version requires environment-wide updates. If you plan to upgrade a server, be sure to allocate time and resources to make these upgrades:
  • Upgrade all management and job submission client applications on all networked workstations to the latest version.
  • Upgrade all InfoPrint Manager servers that interoperate to the latest version.

If you have previously installed InfoPrint Manager software on your AIX system, you might have invested considerable time defining your printing system configuration. The InfoPrint Manager Installer gives you the option to upgrade your InfoPrint Manager product configuration to the latest InfoPrint Manager version, but you need to reinstall any features that you use with InfoPrint Manager. Select all of the appropriate features when presented with the feature selection screen during the upgrade.
