Upgrading

To upgrade Primentra to a new version:

1. Back up the database — Always create a full database backup before upgrading
2. Download the new installer — Get Primentra-Setup-vX.X.X.exe from primentra.com
3. Run the installer as Administrator — It detects the existing installation, stops the service, replaces the application files, and restarts the service automatically. Your port setting is preserved from the registry
4. Open the application — Primentra automatically detects the version mismatch between the application and the database schema. It shows an Upgrade Database screen where you click one button to apply the update
5. Create or skip admin setup — After the schema upgrade, you can create an additional admin account or click Skip to log in with your existing account
6. Verify the upgrade — Check the version number in the status bar and confirm the database connection is healthy

The schema update is safe:

• Stored procedures use CREATE OR ALTER — always updated to the latest version
• Migrations are guarded with existence checks — only new changes are applied
• Your data is never modified or deleted by the schema script
