Upgrade software is current-release Metasys software for upgrading products, such as the ADS/ADX, OAS, MVE, NAE85, and LCS85, at sites that have a previous major release of the Metasys software already installed . For example, upgrading Release 12.x or earlier software to Release 13.0. Metasys upgrade software packages are identified by a -6 suffix on the product code number.
Metasys upgrade software packages may also include upgrades to the current supported Microsoft SQL Server software. For example, upgrading an existing ADX10 to an ADX10SQL.
For major upgrades, such as upgrading Release 12.x or earlier to Release 13.0, you must purchase a current Metasys upgrade software package. You can upgrade from any previous major release to the current major release.
For minor upgrades, such as upgrading Release 10.0 to Release 10.1, your Johnson Controls representative can upgrade the site.
To determine if you must re-license your upgrade software, see Licensing information.
