Passport Update Program Version 11.6 Windows Installation for Manufacturing

The following section provides the installation information for applying the PBS Version 11.6 Manufacturing update.

 

Windows Server Installation

If your existing PBS system is on a Win2000 or Win 2003 server, we recommend that you install PBS while working on the Server. You will find that the data conversion will take much less time.

You must install PBS 11.6 Financial modules before you install the PBS 11.6 Manufacturing modules.

For network installations, we recommend that you be logged in as administrator. Please make sure all users are out and stay out of PBS during the installation.

You will need to know the path of your current installation.  If you are running the install from a client, you must have a drive letter assigned to the location where you are installing the update.

You must have a license for manufacturing in order to install the manufacturing modules.
