OpenLM Broker Upgrade Guide from version 1.6 to 1.7

OpenLM Broker is a tool on the license server. This optional but highly recommended program significantly enhances OpenLM System capabilities.

Although the upgrade process of OpenLM components is usually fully automatic, the transition from OpenLM Broker version 1.6 to version 1.7 is more complex. Thus, some manual steps are required in order to preserve your settings.

2. Download  the OpenLM Broker 1.7 installer from our download area.

4. At the end of the installation process, the “OpenLM Broker Configuration Tool” will pop up.
