Update to OPC Router 5

note

We recommend performing each update of the OPC Router first on a test system and testing the corresponding project there.

Depending on the installed OPC Router version, different steps are required to update to OPC Router 5. Here are the steps for various scenarios:

Update from OPC Router 4.25

From OPC Router version 4.25 onwards, export your entire OPC Router project and disable the OPC Router service. Now, install OPC Router 5 and import your project. Uninstalling OPC Router 4.28 is not necessary.

Update up to OPC Router 4.18

For OPC Router versions older than 4.18, an update to version 4.18 is initially required. To do this, uninstall the old version and install the latest maintenance version of version 4.18. In OPC Router version 4.18, activate your entire OPC Router project via the OPC Router Management before uninstalling this version. Then install version 4.28 and perform the project migration using the automatic process in OPC Router Management 4.28.

Update from OPC Router 3

For OPC Router versions older than OPC Router 4.0, refer to the OPC Router 4 manual on how to perform the update to OPC Router 4.18, and then proceed with the update from OPC Router 4.18 to OPC Router 5.

note

With your OPC Router 4 license and a valid maintenance contract, you can license OPC Router 5. If OPC Router 4 is intended to remain in production, an additional license will be required.
