Changes and points to be aware of when updating to TIS 7

Database update is only possible from version 6.9

If upgrading from bellow TIS 6.9 the database - and only the database, not the software - must be updated with the latest 6.9 TISInstaller.

From 7.0.x.5 there is a check built in so it is not possible to do an update from an other version than 6.9.

New licencemodel from 7.0.x.4

The Licence type has to be changed in your licence. That can be done by XIMES support, so please contact us if you have an older licence.

The projects and exports are not compatible anymore with the previous licences. Therefore they cannot be used with the earlier model. Beware of compatibility restrictions.

Licence model change is from January 2025, version 7.0.x.4.

Python version change

The python interpreter version is different then in earlier version. Please make sure that the Python operator scripts are adjusted accordingly.

Actual Python version used is 3.9.11.

Guard is now a scheduled task

Previously the service guard itself was a service as well, now it is a scheduled task. Make sure it is present and remove the unecessary service.

Can be enabled and disabled in tisconfig and TISInstaller.

TIS prerequisites have changed

Please run all the prepare scripts in TISInstaller otherwise problems can occour.

7zip, IIS Administration modul and other parts are not optional, they are being used during deployment.
