Prerequisites

Before you upgrade MOVEit Transfer :
  • Review and understand the changes and differences applied to the version of the product you are upgrading to. It is best practice to review the Release Notes for each your existing and target version. Release Notes for all supported versions are available here: MOVEit Transfer

  • Review the Plan your upgrade topic in this guide.

  • Download the MOVEit Transfer installer package and activation code. See the following link for how to download the license file.
  • You should be confident in your backup strategy, and that you can restore your current environment with a recent set of data in a timely fashion.
  • There will be downtime for you and your users during the upgrade process. Consider the impact of the outage and your operational schedule.

To upgrade MOVEit Transfer in place

You can use these instructions if you run MOVEit Transfer on a single server machine or VM.

  1. Copy the MOVEit Transfer installer package to the MOVEit Transfer server. Right click and run the installer as Windows Server Administrator.
    注: Alternatively, you can run the installer in "Offline Mode" (which does not require Internet connectivity). To do this, use the command prompt with the /Offline option, for example: "C:Users\Administrator\Desktop\MOVEit_Install.exe" /Offline
  2. On the License Information page, enter your licensing information.
    • If you use product activation, enter your 23-character activation code. (Your installer might pre-populate this information for you.)
    • If you use a license file, choose ‘Activate using a MOVEit license file’ and follow the prompts to load the license file you downloaded from the Progress Customer Portal.
  3. On the ‘Database Option’ page, if you customized the MOVEit database schema, choose what to do with any custom items such as new tables or indexes. Progress does not recommend customizing your database. By default, the installer will remove these items. However, you can choose to maintain them on this page by checking the ‘Do not remove unexpected database elements’ checkbox.
  4. Follow the installer prompts to complete the upgrade.
    重要: As the installer runs and performs an upgrade on a large installation, it may take a while and the status bar might not move for several minutes. Let the installer complete.

Post upgrade

After the upgrade procedure is complete, post-upgrade/migrate you should perform post-upgrade tasks to verify that all data was imported and to test the system to ensure that all functionality is working as expected.

What to do if something goes wrong

When an issue arises in a migration, upgrade, or other installation process, consulting the install logs is a good way to begin the troubleshooting process. You may find enough information in the logs to resolve your issue. If you need assistance from our technical support team, they will ask for your install logs.

For information about how to locate log files generated during the installation/upgrade process, see Locate MOVEit install logs.
