Upgrading Contenta S1000D on a Contenta Explorer client

This task describes how to upgrade Contenta S1000D on a Contenta Explorer client.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that latest compatible version of Contenta (including Service Packs) is installed and functioning properly before beginning the upgrade. For more information, see the Contenta upgrade documentation.
  • We recommend you install or upgrade editor software (Arbortext Editor, Oxygen XML Author, or FrameMaker) on the client before you begin the Contenta S1000D upgrade. Consult the platform requirements for supported versions of editor software. If you install or upgrade Arbortext Editor or Oxygen XML Author after upgrading Contenta S1000D, or if the Contenta S1000D installation program failed to configure these editors, post-installation configuration is required. See Configuring Contenta S1000D Web clients to run Arbortext or Oxygen XML editors.
