Question:

How to upgrade from Allplan 2016 to Allplan 2017 in conjunction with a license server?


Answer:

Start by updating your license(s) at the license server. After this, upgrade the clients.

Check the version of the license server. If you use the license server 2016-1-4 or later, you can find the version number (Build-ID) at bottom left in the License Settingsprogram. The version number should be at least 1.614.x.x. If you cannot see the Build-ID, you work with an older license server. In this case, update the license server first. Download the software for the license server from Allplan Connect or from our FTP server:

ftp://nemhotline:ha37jvg8f@ftp.nemetschek.de/download/Allplan/Lizenzserver/2016/DoWn-2016-License_Server_Setup.zip

Start the new License Server Setupon the server or computer you use as the license server. Right-click the *.exe file and select 'Run as administrator' on the shortcut menu.

• Click Install.
• Click Exit.

After this, update the license(s).

• Start the License Settingsprogram on the server.
• Click License activationon the left. Then click the license you want to update.
• The 'Update license' function is now available.
• Click Update license.
• If you have more licenses for the license server, repeat these steps.

You can then upgrade Allplan at the clients. Start Setup and follow the instructions displayed. The license server license will be detected automatically on the network. When you are prompted to select the license file, click 'Use active license'. Follow the installation instructions.


Note: You can only use an existing license server to update licenses. If you want to use a new license server with Allplan 2017 or if you have not yet installed a license server, read the following instructions:
