ENTERPRISE
Updating Deep Freeze Enterprise (Non-Server Edition)
A Deep Freeze Enterprise deployment (6.2 and lower) consists of five components, as shown below:
Workstation Install File
As of Deep Freeze 6.3 (and higher), the Enterprise Console and Server Service Manager have been
combined into a single component. To update the Server Service component users will need to access
the Tools -> Network Settings menu in the Enterprise Console to configure the Server Service.
The Enterprise Console and the Server Service Manager are both able to control and administer
workstations running prior versions of Deep Freeze, provided that they have the same Customization
Code. Therefore, if the update process is resolving a problem in the Enterprise Console, the Configuration
Administrator, or the Server Service Manager, then the Workstation Seeds and workstation install files
may not require an immediate update.
Updating Deep Freeze settings using a .rdx file will not be successful if the Enterprise
Console and Deep Freeze Client (on the workstation) have different versions. The
.rdx file just updates the Deep Freeze configuration. The .rdx file does not perform a
Deep Freeze version upgrade.
Two steps are required to completely update all Deep Freeze Enterprise components:
1a. or
Automatically update all components using Update Mode.
1b.
Manually update all components.
2.
Remotely update the installed workstations.
Licensing was introduced from Deep Freeze version 6.5 onwards. The License Key can be updated in
the following ways:
•
Through the Workstation Install file - The License Key is updated in the Configuration
Administrator and a Workstation Install file is created. The License Key is now part of the
Workstation Install file.
•
Through the Enterprise Console - The License Key can be updated directly on the Enterprise
Console via Tools > Licensing. When the License Key is updated in the Enterprise Console, it
is automatically updated on all connected computers.
•
Through the Deep Freeze Client - The License Key can also be updated at the workstation by
logging into Deep Freeze and editing the License Key field.
The default port number for Deep Freeze has changed. If upgrading from version
5 to version 6.x, the port number must be changed to 1971.
