Updating an Across Language Server
Please note: In the case of large databases, it may take up to half an hour for the crossTank Server to start after installing the update.
- Notify any Clients that may be logged on that the Across Server will be temporarily unavailable.
- Stop all relevant services (Across Server, crossTank, and crossTerm in crossAdmin and, if applicable, crossAPI and crossVPN) and close crossAdmin and, if applicable, Across on the server.
- Open the Control Panel. Under Administration > Services, check whether the said services have really been stopped.
- Run Across.Setup.exe.
- Restart the Across Server (or restart the services that were stopped).
Detailed information on the applied update is available in the log directory of your Across installation.
Updating the Across Translator Edition (Including Offline Client)
Please note that the Across Translator Edition v7 installation package can be used both for a new installation of version 7 and for an update from version 6.3. The installation procedure is identical in both cases. Before updating, be sure to back up your Across data and upload the current state of your tasks to the Across Server of the respective customer. Detailed information on backing up and restoring data and on uploading the current task state to an Across Language Server is available in the administrator manual of the Across Translator Edition.
Please also note that an update to v7 is only possible if v6.3 is already installed. If you have version prior to v6.3 and would like to update to v7, please contact the Across support desk. Please send your request to the Across support via the Across ticket system only.
