View source for Howto17:Firmware Upgrade V16r1 V17

== Applies To ==
This information applies to:

* All 17 capable innovaphone devices
: For a general overview of the upgrade process and a list of supported devices with 17, see [[Howto:Firmware Upgrade]]
== Licenses ==
In case of cloud or rental model, don't worry about licenses.

If the system is licensed on premise, you'll need to regenerate the license file for v17 in https://portal.innovaphone.com/ and load into the system before upgrade (The system needs to have the SSC up to date).

== Migration Policy ==
<span style="color:red; font-weight: bold">Before you begin, be sure that your whole installation is running the latest 16r1 service release. Create backups before you start and store them on an external location</span>

=== Upgrade AP Image ===
* First, upgrade your application platform to at least image version <code>tbd</code>. After that you can go ahead.

=== Upgrade Sequence ===
In systems of multiple units, it is important to update the tree from top to bottom. In other words, update the master unit first, and then the machines at the lower levels. If you're using a DevicesApp update job that updates the entire system at once, you don't need to do anything here.

=== TechAssist Upgrade Helper ===
* Before you start, make sure that all TechAssist tests (you will receive the required tests in the last update in the previous major version) labelled <code>Pre Upgrade: xy</code> are positive, if available
* When you are finished, make sure that all TechAssist tests (you will receive new tests with the upgrade) are positive

== Changes visible to the end customers ==
Listed here are changes that should be communicated by resellers to end users prior to a upgrade, as the change will be visible/audible in the behaviour of the application/device.

* <code>tbd</code>

== Manual steps needed after upgrade ==
If the installer is not used for a new installation, some new default settings are not set. Please evaluate per app whether you want to configure the new default settings manually.

<code>tbd</code>

== New Apps ==
New Apps will not be installed automatically by the upgrade. The installation description of new apps is usually in the concept article. Please rate per app whether you want to install/use the new app and configure it manually.
