  1. Download the installation ZIP file for the desired release to a folder on the computer and unzip its contents.
    • e-Business 5.5.3: APTIFY_553_eBiz_UPDATE_Revised.zip
    • e-Business 5.5.2: APTIFY_552_eBiz_UPDATE.zip
    • e-Business 5.5.1: APTIFY_551_eBiz_UPDATE.zip
    • e-Business 5.5: APTIFY_550_eBiz_UPDATE.zip
    • Run the installation program locally on the computer; do not run it over the network.
       
  2. Browse to the location of the installation files and right-click on the Setup application (look for the Setup file with the Aptify "A" icon). Select Run as Administrator to launch the installation program.
    • The Run as Administrator option bypasses the server's User Access Control (UAC) for the duration of the installation.
       
  3. When prompted, enter login information for the database server, specifying an account with system administrator privileges (such as sa).
    • If you are logging in as a trusted user based on Windows credentials, select Use Windows Integrated Security.
    • If you are logging in as an untrusted user using SQL server security, select Specify a User Name and Password.
       
  4. Click OK to continue.

  5. Review the information on the Welcome screen and click Next to continue.

    The database server must have the supported Aptify version installed prior to installing e-Business. The installer will check the database's version, and you will be unable to proceed with the installation unless Aptify meets this requirement. The following table identifies the supported version of Aptify for the e-Business releases:

    e-Business ReleaseRequires this Aptify Release
    e-Business 5.5.3Aptify 5.5.3
    e-Business 5.5.2Aptify 5.5.1 or Aptify 5.5.2
    e-Business 5.5.1Aptify 5.5.1
    e-Business 5.5Aptify 5.5

     

    If this installation is for an e-Business 5.5.2 environment, know that these instructions assume you are installing on a system running Aptify 5.5.2 or later. If you are running on Aptify 5.5.1, contact Aptify Technical Support for additional instructions.


     

  6. Review the set of requirements to install e-Business. If your environment does not meet one or more of the specified requirements, click Cancel to abort the installation. Otherwise, click Next to continue.
  7. Click Next to continue.
  8. If you want to deploy the Web Menus records for the Company Administrator feature added in e-Business 5.5.1, select the Include Company Admin Web Menu option.
    • This option is only applicable if upgrading from a version earlier than 5.5.1. If you are upgrading from e-Business 5.5.1 to 5.5.2, then selecting this box has no impact on the upgrade process.
    • Select this option if you are you upgrading from a version earlier than 5.5.1 and are planning to install an e-Business 5.5.2 sample site to review the latest functionality. It will create Web Menu records that correspond to the Manage My Group top level menu and its sub-menus. For a production upgrade, you should not select this option unless you intend to deploy the Company Administrator feature on your site and you want these Web Menus available.
       
  9. Click Finish to update the Aptify e-Business components and database schema to the desired version. Note that the installer applies updates for all releases that came after your current version up to the desired version. For example, if running e-Business 5.0 SP2, and you want to upgrade to 5.5.3, the installer applies updates for Service Pack 3, 5.5, 5.5.1, 5.5.2, and 5.5.3.
