2.2 About upgrading

When you choose the upgrade option in Configuration Manager, Configuration Manager performs upgrading tasks such as migrating essential data from your existing LiveCycle configuration, and migrating security credentials. The upgrade process also provides backward-compatibility support for the upgraded version of LiveCycle.

2.2.1 How the LiveCycle upgrade works

Upgrading to LiveCycle ES3 from modules of LiveCycle ES Update 1 or LiveCycle ES2 involves these tasks:

  1. Preparing your environment for upgrade.

  2. Installing LiveCycle product files.

  3. Running Configuration Manager to initiate the configuration, upgrading, and deployment process.

  4. Migrating essential existing LiveCycle data.

2.2.2 Post-deployment upgrade tasks

Some manual steps are required after you complete the upgrade and deployment process to ensure that your previous properties are retained and the client applications are fully migrated and continue to run with LiveCycle.
