Installing a node manager interactively during upgrade

Install the new node manager on the same computer as the old node manager. You must run the node manager installer with administrative permissions.

Before you begin

Note: This procedure is for an interactive installation, using the installation wizard. Alternatively, you can run a silent installation from the command line; for details, see Installing a node manager silently. Then see Running the node manager upgrade tool silently.

In the installation kit, right-click nm-setup.exe and then click Run as administrator.
On the installation wizard Welcome page, click Next.
On the License page, read the agreement, select I accept, and then click Next.
On the Destination Folder page you can change the location if you want to, and then click Next.
The Node Manager Ports page opens.
On the Node Manager Ports page, specify the same ports that were used by the old node manager.
Click Next.
The Spotfire Server page opens.
On the Spotfire Server page, enter the following information, and then click Next.
Important: These values must match the values you used when installing the Spotfire Server files.
- Server name–The hostname of Spotfire Server.
  Note: Valid hostnames may contain only alphabetic characters, numeric characters, hyphens, and periods.
- Server backend registration port–The registration port that you specified during Spotfire Server installation.
- Server backend communication port (TLS)–The back-end communication port that you specified during Spotfire Server installation.
On the Network Names page, select the computer names that can be used by back-end trust. In general you can leave all the listed names as they are.
On the Ready to Install page, click Install.

Important: Do not start the newly installed node manager before running the upgrade tool.
On the Install Wizard Completed page, select Launch the upgrade tool and click Finish.
