How to migrate Database Server

UAS3 Network Version

Note

For network installations with a shared database, you must update the UAS3 clients first, then the database server.

Warning

For UASLite and UAS3 users who use both solutions on the same computer, you must update the UAS3 and UASLite first, then the database server.

UAS3 & UASlite

If you update the PostgreSQL before updating UAS3 or UASLite then an error may appear on startup of software.
