Device drivers are now split into two device packs: the regular device pack with newer
drivers and a legacy device pack with older drivers. The regular device pack is always
automatically installed with an update or upgrade. If you have older cameras that use
device drivers from the legacy device pack, and you do not have a legacy device pack
installed already, the system does not automatically install the legacy device pack.
If your system has older cameras, Milestone recommends that you check if the cameras
use drivers from the legacy device pack on this page
(https://www.milestonesys.com/community/business-partner-tools/device-packs/). To
check if you have the legacy pack installed already, look in the XProtect system folders. If
you need to download the legacy device pack, go to download page
(https://www.milestonesys.com/downloads/).
If your system is a Single Computer system, you can install the new software on top of the existing installation.
In a Milestone Interconnect or Milestone Federated Architecture system, you must start upgrading the central
site and afterward the remote sites.
In a distributed system, perform the upgrade in this order:
1. Upgrade the management server with the Custom option in the installer (see Install your system -
Custom option on page 151).
1. On the wizard page where you choose components, all management server components are
preselected.
2. Specify the SQL Server and database. Decide whether to keep the SQL database that you are
already using and to keep the existing data in the database.
When you start the installation, you lose the failover recording server
functionality (see Failover recording server (explained) on page 37).
If you enable encryption on the management server, the recording
servers are offline until they are upgraded, and you have enabled
encryption to the management server (see Secure communication
(explained) on page 138).
