ENTERPRISE10Updating Deep Freeze Enterprise Version 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 to 6.6(Non-Server Edition)The first step to update to version 6.6 is to install the Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator; thiscreates the file directories where all related programs are subsequently saved to as a default.The version 6.6 of the Configuration Administrator installs in a different directory than version 5.x.If Update Mode is being used as outlined in this document, care must be taken to manually copy anyexisting Workstation Install Programs, Workstation Seeds, and Enterprise Consoles into the directorywhere the version 6.6 Configuration Administrator will be installed.By default, version 5.x files are in::\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze Enterprise\DF5 Install ProgramsVersion 6.x files are in:(for 6.5 and higher) :\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze 65 Enterprise\InstallPrograms(for 6.4 and lower) :\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze 6 Enterprise\InstallProgramsChange Port NumberThe default port number for Deep Freeze has changed from port 1971 to port 7725 from version 6.0. Ifthe change in the port number is not accounted for, version 5.x workstations will not be visible in theupdated version 6.x Enterprise Console.If the former default port number of 1971 is preferred, ensure that the Workstation Installation Filesare all created with port number 1971 (entered in the Advanced Options tab of the ConfigurationAdministrator). The Enterprise Console must be configured to listen on port the same port numbervia Tools > Network Configuration.Upgrading from Deep Freeze 5.x to 6.6x will not change the port number unless theport number was changed manually.The change in Port Number between version 5.x and 6.x can be handled in two ways:1. Continue to use the former default port number (1971) to administer your Deep Freezeworkstations. Ensure that the Enterprise Console listens on Port number 1971 via Tools >Network Configuration. Note that other applications may use this port and continuing to useport 1971 may cause issues in the future.2. Change all workstations to the new port number (7725). Configure the port number in theConfiguration Administrator (in the Advanced Options tab) and the Enterprise console viaTools > Network Configuration.To update workstations running Deep Freeze 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 an update process through theEnterprise Console can be performed on the workstations by rebooting the workstations Thawed,uninstalling Deep Freeze, leaving the Workstation Seed, and the performing a Target Install of a newworkstation installation file on the selected workstations.The new Workstation Installation Program must have all the required Deep Freezesettings configured before the update procedure.
