To upgrade Active Roles Add-on Manager to version 7.4, first upgrade your Active Roles installation to version 7.4, and then use the following instructions to install and configure Active Roles Add-on Manager 8.0 LTS.
To install and configure Add-on Manager
- Run the Add-on Manager Setup program, and complete the Setup wizard to install Add-on Manager.
- In the configuration wizard that appears after you complete the Setup wizard, choose from the options to specify the Active Roles Administration Service on which you want to use Add-on Manager, and then click Register:
- If you choose the Any available Administration Service option, the wizard registers Add-on Manager with the nearest Administration Service, connecting to that Administration Service with the credentials of your current logon account. In this case, your current logon account must be Active Roles Admin.
- If you choose the Administration Service on this computer option, the wizard registers Add-on Manager with the Administration Service that runs on the computer you specify, connecting to that Administration Service with the user name and password you supply. Ensure that you supply the user name and password of Active Roles Admin.
