The Web Console installer will install or update Web Console 7.1. When you install Web Console 7.1.3 on a machine that has Corticon Server installed the installer will notify you and then exit.

Note: You can install the Web Console on a machine that has a previous version installed. Where a previous version is installed, you must manage any port overloads that might result from running both versions.
Note: IMPORTANT If you have an existing, populated Web Console and you want to retain the configurations, you must log on to the Web Console, and then perform the Administration task Export Configuration. Save the configuration file. Installing a 7.1.3 Web Console will clear the existing configurations. In the new Web Console installation, you should then immediately import the saved configurations to install them. You could retain the file as a backup, noting that applying it will overwrite the existing configuration.
