CurrentWare Client Upgrade Process

After upgrading your CurrentWare Server, the upgrade of the CurrentWare Client is performed automatically in the following order:

  1. When a CurrentWare Client with an older version connects to the CurrentWare Server with a new version, the upgrade process will begin.
  2. The cwClientSetup.exe is copied over to the client computer (C:\Windows\Temp\cwClientSetup.exe) and the upgrade command is executed.
  3. After the client upgrade, the latest version installed on your client computers will be displayed on the Manage page of your CurrentWare Web Console.
The client PC's do not require a restart once upgraded.

Plan on moving your CurrentWare server to another PC? 

It is best practice to upgrade your CurrentWare server to the latest version before moving it to another PC. This ensures your server, database, and clients are all on the same version.

If you are unable to upgrade at this time, you can contact CurrentWare Support to request the same version of your server, just let us know what version you are on first!

Notes for Legacy Perpetual Customers

Customers with perpetual licenses can upgrade to the latest version, however, the Web Console is exclusively available for customers with a CurrentWare subscription plan. Click here to upgrade to a CurrentWare subscription plan.

Do I need a new license key?

If you’re upgrading from an older version, you don’t need new keys if you have subscription keys. Your existing subscription keys will be transferred.

Only Customers with a valid subscription or support & maintenance plan are entitled to new license keys and the latest versions. If you do not have an active subscription or maintenance plan, please contact us to receive an upgrade quote.
