Simplify Suite v6 is a major version release from Tricerat, and requires an uninstall of previous versions before installing. The uninstall process does not alter the database, so all configuration settings and assignments will remain in place. In many cases a simple uninstall of Simplify Suite v5 is sufficient prior to installing Simplify Suite v6, but to increase success rates Tricerat has developed a script to completely clean the system of Tricerat components before installing v6. Please use the following instructions as an upgrade best practice.
...
- Uninstall Simplify Suite v5 using add/remove programs.
Copy “Tricerat Removal Script.ps1” to a location on the local disk. This script will remove all installed Tricerat products including ScrewDrivers v4, ScrewDrivers v6, Simplify Suite v5, Simplify Suite v6, Simplify License Server v2, Simplify Scanning v2 and Simplify Scanning v6. This script will remove any version of any Tricerat product.
Info This script is safe to run even if ScrewDrivers was not installed on the server. The script will detect any previously installed Tricerat product and clean the detected files.
- Open a command prompt as administrator.
Start PowerShell by running
powershell.Note title PowerShell Version Requirement The removal script requires PowerShell 3.0 or higher. This version is standard on Windows Server 2012 and higher, and Windows 8 and higher.
