Installation and Upgrade Overview

You can install Express Server on 64-bit versions of Linux and Windows operating systems. If you are upgrading from Express Server 9.0.x, you can install the latest version without uninstalling your existing software. Additionally, the Express Server installer includes an automated upgrade process for upgrading from Express Server 8.

To set up Express Server, complete the following tasks:

• Verify system requirements and permissions requirements.
• Verify web server prerequisites for Windows installations.
• Run the Express Server installer.
• Enter a license code for Express Server.
  (Express Server 9.5 requires a new license, even for upgrade installations.)
• Optionally, run the automated upgrade process.
