Application Update

There are two parts to the Virtual Appliance that can be upgraded or updated, the host build and the application build. The steps below cover two methods of updating the Virtual Appliance application build. For steps to upgrade the host build, reference Virtual Appliance Host Upgrade.

Please refer to the Application & Host Compatibility Information table below prior to upgrading the appliance to be sure the host build you are running is supported.

Application Update Instructions

Please refer to the Application & Host Compatibility Information table above prior to upgrading the application to be sure the host build you are running is supported.

Automated Update

  1. In the PrinterLogic Admin Console, go to: Support & Training then About PrinterLogic
  2. Click Update Now to update the Application build.

    The automatic update downloads the package from our online update service over TCP 443.
    If there is no response when clicking the Update Now button, verify the Virtual Appliance's DNS requirements (and SSL requirements, if applicable) are in place.

Manual Update

  1. Download the .gpg appliance update file.
  2. Connect to the Virtual Appliance share drive.
  3. Open the .updates folder.

    If the .updates fold does not exist, create one.

  4. Place the downloaded .gpg file in folder.
  5. Right-click in the .updates folder.
  6. Select New then Text Document.
  7. Name that document .update.txt
  8. Edit the .update.txt file.
  9. Type in the version number you are updating to; it will match the beginning portion of the .gpg file (example: 20.0.1305).
  10. Select: File then Save As.
  11. Change the Save as type to All Files.
  12. Name the file .update.ready
  13. Verify the file Type column for the file (.update.ready) shows as READY File.
  14. Rename the file to .update
  15. Verify the file Type column for the file (.update) shows as UPDATE File.

    A LOCK File will appear that can be ignored.

  16. Once the file is Saved as an UPDATE File, the Virtual Appliance will start to update automatically using the .gpg file. To confirm the update progress, open the VM console of the Virtual Appliance and you will see STATUS: updating. Once the update is complete, you will see STATUS: running.
  17. Verify the update was successful by logging into the admin console.
  18. Navigate to Support & Training then About PrinterLogic to ensure the Appliance Version number matches the version you just updated to.
