- Review Troubleshooting Aptify 5.5.3 Installation Problems prior to installing Aptify 5.5.3. This guide provides information on issues that you may encounter running the Aptify 5.5.3 or Aptify Web 5.5.3 setup. If you know, for example, that you have a required field on the Persons entity that does not have a default value, this will need to be resolved prior to install to be successful for Aptify 5.5.3.
Installing Aptify 5.5.3 on the Aptify sample data set takes approximately three hours. Depending on the size of your database, the installation process may take up to six hours.
Note The increased installation process time is due to updating Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) for several entities in this release.
- This installation can only be applied to a server running Aptify 5.5.2. If your server is running an earlier version, you must upgrade to Aptify 5.5.2 first before applying this versions.
- For best results, Aptify recommends that an organization install service packs, add-on applications, and new versions in the order in which they are released. For example, since Aptify e-Business 5.5.2 was released before Aptify 5.5.3, Aptify recommends that an organization using e-Business install e-Business 5.5.2 first before installing Aptify 5.5.3. Note that the e-Business 5.5.2 setup program will not run against an Aptify 5.5.3 database, due to the .NET Framework 4.5 update in Aptify 5.5.3. To install e-Business on 5.5.3, you need to use an e-Business 5.5.3 installer (available Summer 2015 - contact Aptify Technical Support for details).
