ENTERPRISE
Updating Deep Freeze Enterprise Version 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 to 6.6
(Non-Server Edition)
The first step to update to version 6.6 is to install the Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator; this
creates the file directories where all related programs are subsequently saved to as a default.
The version 6.6 of the Configuration Administrator installs in a different directory than version 5.x.
If Update Mode is being used as outlined in this document, care must be taken to manually copy any
existing Workstation Install Programs, Workstation Seeds, and Enterprise Consoles into the directory
where the version 6.6 Configuration Administrator will be installed.
By default, version 5.x files are in:
<DRIVE>:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze Enterprise\DF5 Install Programs
Version 6.x files are in:
(for 6.5 and higher) <DRIVE>:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze 65 Enterprise\Install
Programs
(for 6.4 and lower) <DRIVE>:\Program Files\Faronics\Deep Freeze 6 Enterprise\Install

Change Port Number
The default port number for Deep Freeze has changed from port 1971 to port 7725 from version 6.0. If
the change in the port number is not accounted for, version 5.x workstations will not be visible in the
updated version 6.x Enterprise Console.
If the former default port number of 1971 is preferred, ensure that the Workstation Installation Files
are all created with port number 1971 (entered in the Advanced Options tab of the Configuration
Administrator). The Enterprise Console must be configured to listen on port the same port number
via Tools > Network Configuration.
Upgrading from Deep Freeze 5.x to 6.6x will not change the port number unless the
port number was changed manually.
The change in Port Number between version 5.x and 6.x can be handled in two ways:
1.
Continue to use the former default port number (1971) to administer your Deep Freeze
workstations. Ensure that the Enterprise Console listens on Port number 1971 via Tools >
Network Configuration. Note that other applications may use this port and continuing to use
port 1971 may cause issues in the future.
2.
Change all workstations to the new port number (7725). Configure the port number in the
Configuration Administrator (in the Advanced Options tab) and the Enterprise console via
Tools > Network Configuration.
To update workstations running Deep Freeze 5.x, 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 an update process through the
Enterprise Console can be performed on the workstations by rebooting the workstations Thawed,
uninstalling Deep Freeze, leaving the Workstation Seed, and the performing a Target Install of a new
workstation installation file on the selected workstations.
The new Workstation Installation Program must have all the required Deep Freeze
settings configured before the update procedure.
