ENTERPRISE4Updating Deep Freeze Enterprise (Non-Server Edition)A Deep Freeze Enterprise deployment (6.2 and lower) consists of five components, as shown below:As of Deep Freeze 6.3 (and higher), the Enterprise Console and Server Service Manager have beencombined into a single component. To update the Server Service component users will need to accessthe Tools -> Network Settings menu in the Enterprise Console to configure the Server Service.The Enterprise Console and the Server Service Manager are both able to control and administerworkstations running prior versions of Deep Freeze, provided that they have the same CustomizationCode. Therefore, if the update process is resolving a problem in the Enterprise Console, the ConfigurationAdministrator, or the Server Service Manager, then the Workstation Seeds and workstation install filesmay not require an immediate update.Updating Deep Freeze settings using a .rdx file will not be successful if the EnterpriseConsole and Deep Freeze Client (on the workstation) have different versions. The.rdx file just updates the Deep Freeze configuration. The .rdx file does not perform aDeep Freeze version upgrade.Two steps are required to completely update all Deep Freeze Enterprise components:1a. or1b.Automatically update all components using Update Mode.Manually update all components.2. Remotely update the installed workstations.Licensing was introduced from Deep Freeze version 6.5 onwards. The License Key can be updated inthe following ways:• Through the Workstation Install file - The License Key is updated in the ConfigurationAdministrator and a Workstation Install file is created. The License Key is now part of theWorkstation Install file.• Through the Enterprise Console - The License Key can be updated directly on the EnterpriseConsole via Tools > Licensing. When the License Key is updated in the Enterprise Console, itis automatically updated on all connected computers.• Through the Deep Freeze Client - The License Key can also be updated at the workstation bylogging into Deep Freeze and editing the License Key field.The default port number for Deep Freeze has changed. If upgrading from version5 to version 6.x, the port number must be changed to 1971.
