Upgrading to a New CAM Version

You can upgrade to a new version from CAM versions 13.0 and later.

 This topic applies to on-premises installations.

When you run camsetup.exe on a machine containing an older version of CAM components, those components will be upgraded.

Upgrade to a new CAM version using camsetup.exe:

1. Back up your existing CAM Database. See Backing Up Your Existing CAM Database for detailed instructions.
2. Download the cam.zip file and extract the cam[version] folder from it.
3. From the cam[version] folder, run camsetup.exe on each workstation or server where the components below are installed.

   If earlier versions of these CAM components are installed to different machines, update them by running camsetup.exe on each machine, in the following order:

   1. Database

      Notes:

      If a previously installed version of the database was moved, when you're prompted to enter a database name, give the "new" database the same name as the previously installed version. When prompted, enter the username and password used for the previously installed version of the database.

      If you backed up your database in step 1, you can skip the prompts to back up your database.

      If you can't run camsetup.exe on your database machine, follow the instructions in the next section.

   2. Access Point
   3. Administrator & Administration Service
   4. Reporting, License Analytics, and Purchasing
4. Continue with the setup until the installation is complete. You may be prompted to reboot.

Upgrade the CAM Database without using camsetup.exe

If you can't or don't want to run camsetup.exe on your SQL Server, see Remote CAM Database Installation.

This also applies to installation on SQL Clusters.
