Posted April 21, 2006.
© 2006 Gavel & Gown Software Inc.
This Update (Build Number 7.000.0001.0002) applies to
Standard and Premium Editions of Release 1 (Build Number 7.000.0001.0001).
A list of fixed
issues follows the “Update Instructions” section below.
UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
UPDATING
THE AMICUS SERVER
1.
Ensure
that there is sufficient free disk space available on the Amicus Application
Server. We recommend 1 GB.
2.
We
recommend that you back up your Amicus databases.
3.
Download
the AA7Update1.EXE updater file from the InstallShield Update Service website (33 MB) and save it on
your Amicus Server. (If you cannot download it, please contact the Gavel &
Gown Customer Account Services Team to request a CD.)
4.
Ensure
that you are logged on at the Server as a user with Windows “Administrator”
rights. You must be physically at the Server—the update cannot be performed via
a remote connection.
5.
Ensure
that all users (including yourself) have logged out of
Amicus.
6.
From
the Windows Add/Remove Programs function, remove the Amicus Install Manager if
present.
7.
Shut
down all running programs.
8.
Double-click
the AA7Update1.EXE file to start the update, and
follow the onscreen instructions. Please wait for the update process to
complete.
UPDATING
WORKSTATIONS (including the Workstation on the Amicus Server)
1.
Shut
down all running programs.
2.
Log
in to Amicus Attorney. A message will appear, asking you whether to apply the
update now. Click OK. Please wait for the update process to complete.
·
If
you are prompted to exit the Palm HotSync Manager, do so and then click Retry.
·
If
Offline components are installed, they will be updated after the Workstation is
updated.
NOTE: If you
cannot log in to Amicus at a Workstation after updating it, we recommend that
you restart the computer and reapply the Update manually: double-click UPDATE.EXE in the \\(Amicus Server Name)\Install\Workstation shared folder located on your
Amicus Application Server.
IMPORTANT:
If Offline components are LATER installed at any Workstation, the Update will
not be applied automatically to those components and the user will be unable to
go Offline. To apply the Update manually, double-click UPDATE.EXE
in the \\[Amicus Server Name]\Install\Offline shared folder located on your Amicus Application Server. This issue
will be fixed in a future Service Pack.
IMPORTANT:
If your firm plans to upgrade from Amicus X to Version 7 after applying this
Update, please contact Gavel & Gown Technical Support for a required program
file.
