Preparing to Upgrade a Standalone Installation
 |
Only Windows Administrators who are also Modeler Administrators can perform Modeler upgrades. Administrators who perform the upgrades receive Modeler System Administrator and Modeler Application User roles by default. For more information, see the Overview of Modeler Access Permissions topic in help.

For information about upgrading a previous version of Modeler, see Upgrading Modeler.
If you have installed Modeler to the default location, the Release Notes file resides in the following location:
<<INSTALLDIR>>\Modeler\System\PrintableDocs
Important:
• Before you upgrade a Standalone installation, ensure that you have obtained the appropriate replacement licenses from PTC. After upgrading Modeler, you must start License Manager and replace the license file.
• Before you upgrade a Standalone installation, ensure that you backup your databases and read the Modeler Release Notes.
• Each database will be upgraded when a user (with Database Administrator or Database Owner access permissions) attempts to open one of its models.
• If you choose to install Web Interface, a dialog will be displayed that allows you to set the password for the PTC-IM-WSU account. If you have previously changed the default password for this account (which is recommended), ensure you re-enter your chosen password.
• If you are using a deployment with multiple instances of PTC Modeler and local Windows users, please contact PTC Support for guidance before upgrading.
