- Bridge 7 The BRIDGE installer will check your Bridge license. When updating a BRIDGE to a new version (e.g. BRIDGE 6 to BRIDGE 7), you need to apply the new license before updating the system.
Otherwise the installer will complain about a license mismatch: "Your current license version '<your old version>' is not valid for upgrading to Bridge version '<target version>'. Please update the license first and run the update installation again." | Note |
|---|
| As of Bridge 7, the BRIDGE uses Apache 2.4. You can find information on behavior changes on the Apache pages. If you have modified the Apache configuration as described on Configuring the Proxy, you may need to apply your changes to the new Apache templates that have been provided with the update. Please refer to the mentioned page for more information. |

| The BRIDGE Installer overwrites file server.xml upon updating the Bridge. The old server.xml is copied to server.xml.old. If you changed the server.xml of your BRIDGE installation (to e.g. apply an individual Tomcat configuration), you can re-apply your changes from the copy.
But please note, that there will be only one copy of server.xml: server.xml.old will get overwritten on every update. |

The Update Process
- First, stop all running services of the former BRIDGE installation in the administration UI to make sure that all Bridge processes are terminated. This ensures that all services will be restarted by the new BRIDGE after its installation.
- Stop Windows service "E2E Console", too (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services).
- Start BridgeInstaller-win32-64-7.x.x.jar to start the installation of the BRIDGE.
