Diagnostic Manager 5.0.1 - Installation Guide

Activating Your Diagnostic Manager License

If your installation included the Collection Service, you must activate your Metalogix Diagnostic Manager license on the server where it was installed.

The conventional way to activate Metalogix Diagnostic Manager is over the Internet.  If the machine on which Metalogix Diagnostic Manager is installed does not have Internet access or you want to use a secure connection, you can either specify a proxy server to use to connect to the internet, or request a license file to activate the license offline.

info

NOTE: If you do not activate your license immediately after installing the Collection Service, it will display when you attempt to invoke Metalogix Diagnostic Manager. You cannot begin to use the application until your license is activated.

To activate your Metalogix Diagnostic Manager license:

1.In the Activate License dialog box, enter the license key.

Upgrading from a Previous Version of Diagnostic Manager

To upgrade from a previous version of Metalogix Diagnostic Manager:

Run the newest version of the installer. If you are upgrading the Collection Service, you will be prompted to provide the Service Account password.  

caution

CAUTION: Due to a database schema changed introduced in version 4.12.123.0, the more data that is contained in the Repository database, the longer the upgrade process will take to complete.  During that time, the Collection Service will be unavailable, and if the Management Console is currently in use, the following message will display:  
The Collection Service on [server_name] is in the process of initializing.  A connection can not be established until initialization finishes.  Would you like to retry the connection?

It will not be necessary to re-activate your Metalogix Diagnostic Manager license.

info

NOTE: At the end of the upgrade you may be prompted to restart your system. A restart is not necessary, however. If you receive this message click [No] to dismiss it.

caution

CAUTION: If you are upgrading from a version of Metalogix Diagnostic Manager older than 4.8 and are monitoring one or more O365 Tenants, you will receive an alert to provide Office 365 Authentication using the Edit Farm option.

To upgrade the Component Analysis Solution:

After upgrading Metalogix Diagnostic Manager, on a Web Front End in the monitored farm, run the Component Analysis Solution Setup program that is appropriate for your version of SharePoint.  It is located in the folder C:/Program Files (x86)/Metalogix/Metalogix Diagnostic Manager/ComponentAnalysis.
