Upgrading from Juris 2.1x through 2.25SP2

The Juris installation can be performed in minutes by following the instructions below.  Please read through these completely before beginning the installation as the installation has changed.  If you have any questions regarding these instructions, contact Juris Support to clarify those issues before attempting the installation.

Make sure you meet or exceed current hardware requirements.

Caution: IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING BANK ACCOUNTS There should be NO BANK RECONCILIATION IN PROCESS when this update is installed. Also, Bank Accounts may not share G/L numbers.  If any accounts share G/L Numbers, the G/L will become locked after the update and will remain locked until unique G/L accounts are established, assigned and validated. Click here for more details.

Caution: MAKE A BACKUP. It is important to always make a backup of the database before attempting any installation or upgrade. Go to Help > About to review the stored procedure version.

Note: Users should exit the server and virus scanning should be temporarily disabled during installation. If a user is accessing a shared resource that must be updated during this installation, a server reboot may be required.  It is recommended that no users be on or connected to the server during the server portion of the Juris installation.  You should also disable virus scanning during the installation process as virus scanning products may inhibit the installation from proceeding normally.  Again, be aware that the installation may require a reboot.

Install Juris Server Components

  1. Install the Juris Server components.  Follow the on-screen prompts, or click here for detailed screen-by-screen instructions.  If your version of MSDE or SQL is not current, you may be required to install appropriate service packs or upgrades for these products before the JurisServer installation may be performed.  Juris will notify you during the installation attempt if the upgrade of SQL or MSDE is necessary.  

     
  2. The Juris Application and the Juris Administrative Toolkit are normally installed from a shared location on the Juris server. In this case, ensure that the Application and Administrative Toolkit installation files are placed on a shared location on the server. You can also download the installation files to each individual workstation.

Note: OPTIONAL – The administrative toolkit is not required.  This optional installation includes certain tools that may be used to administer the Juris system.  At least one person in the firm should load this toolkit in addition to the Juris Application.

Note: The following procedure refers to executables whose file names depend on your Juris version number. For example, the Juris application executable is named Juris Application x.x.exe, where x.x is the Juris version (for example, 2.5.exe).

    1.  If the installation was copied to a shared drive during step 2 above, then browse to that shared location and begin the setup by double-clicking the Juris Administrative Utilities executable.  Follow the on-screen prompts, or click here for detailed screen-by-screen instructions.
