Downloads

Your existing FileWave Server must be version 12.0.3 or higher before you can upgrade to FileWave 13.1+.

Upgrading

Please read: https://kb.filewave.com/display/KB/Upgrading+your+FileWave+Server
This article contains important information that will help ensure your upgrade runs smoothly. It is strongly advised that you review this for each release, since new notes or instructions may have been added.
Please make sure you have a recent backup before upgrading your server.

Upgrading FileWave requires the FileWave Imaging Appliance (IVS) is upgraded to a compatible version to ensure communication continues. Example: FileWave 13.1.0 requires the 6.1 IVS to image your computers.
The FileWave Engage Server must be version 1.2.0 or greater for compatibility.

In order to avoid problems with migrating database internal structures please make sure that you use a local administrator account, not domain administrator, when performing FileWave Server upgrade on Windows platform.

Location Tracking

The location reporting feature in FileWave is disabled by default.
It is recommended that you verify that this feature is in accordance with your organization’s policies and AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). Notify your end users before activating location reporting, as enabling the feature will prompt for permission to location information.
Read more... The Location Tracking KB (https://kb.filewave.com/display/KB/Location+Tracking)

Before Upgrading

Version 13.0.x introduces higher security standards which have impact on self-signed certificate usage.

While it is recommended to use Trusted-CA issued certificates, you can still use self-signed certificate with FileWave ; please make sure you follow the upgrade steps described in this KB article.

Following upgrade steps is important to make sure your FileWave setup works properly !

With FileWave 13.0.x, FileWave uses new Apple Push Notifications service with HTTP/2 protocol ; make sure your FileWave server can contact https://api.push.apple.com (port 443).

Security Changes

Starting with FileWave 13.1.0, all components (clients and boosters) will be assigned a certificate to validate their access to your FileWave instance. This implies that Boosters need to be enrolled to be part of your FileWave setup.

When upgrading, a Compatibility Mode will automatically be enabled to ease transition ; in this mode, already enrolled clients will automatically be assigned a certificate, but Boosters will require manual "create certificate" operation once upgraded to 13.1.
You can figure out which booster requires a certificate by looking at the booster view.

If you are using a self signed certificate for your FileWave Server, Booster trust store needs to be updated to trust this certificate. The easiest way is to go through our Custom Package Builder Service and generate a Booster Package which will contain the server certificate.

Web admin console

With version 13.0.x comes the first iteration of FileWave web-based admin console. It will be installed automatically and uses default HTTPS port (443).

Upgrade to 13.0.x will fail if port 443 is not available (upgrade will fail without upgrading your server, leaving it with the previous version running).

It is recommended to use a dedicated server for FileWave ; if you want to share the server with other services that require HTTPs port, follow the following steps:

stop other service using 443 install FileWave 13.0.x change FileWave admin port to an unused as described in /wiki/spaces/DRAFT/pages/4327696 KB article restart FileWave 13.0.x restart other service

macOS Installers

macOS Upgrade Fileset

A known issue in original 13.1.0 Admin installer removes fwcontrol from the system. Installer has been updated June 12th and fixes the issue ; in case you installed the previous version, you can restore fwcontrol with the following command:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin; sudo curl http://fwdl.filewave.com/13.1.0/fwcontrol -o /usr/local/bin/fwcontrol; sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/fwcontrol

Note: Use the following command to download and unzip the installers:

wget https://fwdl.filewave.com/13.1.0/FileWave_Linux_13.1.0.zip

unzip FileWave_Linux_13.1.0.zip

Since v11+ only has one installer (that installs both mdm and server), the old standalone mdm will be removed automatically when doing an upgrade. This does not delete any mdm data.

To install or upgrade the FileWave Server, use the following :

yum install -y --nogpgcheck fwxserver-13.1.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm

To install or upgrade the FileWave Booster, use the following :

yum install -y --nogpgcheck fwbooster-13.1.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm
