 | Notice Data Center Console must be upgraded first. |
You may receive email notifications about new version releases of R1Soft software. New versions are improved by bug fixes and new/reworked functionality. All enhancements made to the product are documented in the Release Notes, where you can find a brief summary of recent changes, enhancements, and bug fixes in a particular software release.
It is assumed that you have a Debian server running Linux Data Center Console 3.18 or an earlier version and that you used the automatic method (with apt-get) to install the server so that the CDP packages repository is already added to the configuration. You can read about how to configure the CDP packages repository in Installing Data Center Console on Linux.
 | Note R1Soft products follow this format for version numbers: MAJOR.MINOR.MAINTENANCE. Pre-release downloads ALWAYS have a version number that has an ODD MINOR number, e.g., 3.6.0. Stable downloads ALWAYS have a version number with an EVEN MINOR number, e.g., 3.18.1. |
| Notice To upgrade the CDP Server, you do not need to uninstall the previous version. It is safe to upgrade Data Center Console on an active, running server. After the upgrade is complete, a reboot is not required. All your licenses, settings, added Hosts, etc. will remain unchanged. |
