SOLIDWORKS PDM Tutorial - Upgrade Server

[@micahspeight1]

Awsome video guys, everystep is covered, gives one great confidence to tackle the install.😀

[@Scott_G]

Perfect timing! Thank you! Do you have a video on how the installation changes when using an Admin image and floating licenses on clients?

[@rmp0619]

Is the process the same for upgrading to 2022?

[@goengineer]

Yes the process should be the same. However there have been changes to the system requirements that may require updating to 2022 to be a more complex process. See www.solidworks.com/support/system-requirements for more details on the system requirements.

if i need to run mssql CU4 when do I do that before or after this process?

[@goengineer]

Upgrading SQL should generally come first

Can you make a new video to upgrade SOLIDWORKS PDM from version 2021 to 2023

[@goengineer]

We have don our best to present the information to work regardless of version. This video is applicable to the upgrade you are suggesting.

when i attempt the database backup i receive an error stating "the server principal is not able to access the database under the current security context" is this because that user needs to be added into sql as an auth user?

[@goengineer]

It does indicate the username signed into SQL management studio does not have the proper permissions. You can update the user profile or log in with the SA credentials
