Admin Console - Installation

When you install or upgrade MOVEit Central using the MOVEit Central installation package, your local copy of MOVEit Central Admin will also be automatically upgraded to the latest version.

Remote MOVEit Central Admin Users

Users who use MOVEit Central Admin to remotely connect to MOVEit Central must use the standalone MOVEit Central Admin installation to upgrade their clients.

Run the setup program. There are normally only two questions to answer: into which directory should the program be installed and into which Start menu folder should the shortcuts be located.

MOVEit Central Admin may prompt you to also install Microsoft Installer and/or Microsoft XML. If you are prompted, please response affirmatively as both these entities are required. (If you are not prompted to install these entities, then the installation has detected that you have sufficient versions of these entities.)

Remote MOVEit Central Admin Upgrades

Remote MOVEit Central Admin users should expect to upgrade MOVEit Central Admin each time MOVEit Central is upgraded; the only way to take advantage of new features in MOVEit Central is to configure them with a matching MOVEit Central Admin. In fact, modern versions of MOVEit Central Admin will only work with a particular range of MOVEit Central versions.

There are no special considerations when upgrading an existing MOVEit Central Admin. Almost all of Admin's configuration information (except for its recent host list) is obtained from MOVEit Central after connecting, so upgrades are easy and painless.
