Advanced Installation in this document.  

Upgrading from a Previous Version of Pearl Echo 

Pearl Echo Version 7.0 will automatically gather your existing settings from 

previous installations. 

Server Upgrade 

Before installing and activating the Version 7.0 Server Software, 

1.  Login to your previous version of Pearl Echo and turn monitoring OFF from 

the Set Security Status menu. 

2.  Make note of your network settings in the Options >Network Settings 

menu.   

3.  Close the Pearl Echo console 

Install and activate Pearl Echo Version 7.0 in a new program directory. When 

prompted, use the same IP and Port settings as your previous installation.  

Your pervious version's access control profiles, controls lists and report 

settings will automatically appear in your new installation. 

Workstation Upgrade 

Previous versions of the Pearl Echo Workstation software are fully compatible 

with the new Pearl Echo 7.0 Server.  It is recommended, however, that you 

upgrade your Pearl Echo Workstation software in order to take advantage of 

the added benefits available in this latest version.   

You will need to uninstall your previous version of the Pearl Echo Workstation 

software before installing Pearl Echo 7.0 Workstation components.  This can 

be accomplished by removing the software from the Workstation's 

Add/Remove Programs applet or automated with scripts provided by Pearl 

Software support.  Because the Pearl Echo Workstation software is a secure 

installation, it cannot be removed with a Group Policy Object. 

Once deployed, the Pearl Echo 7.0 Workstation agent will be self healing; the 

Workstation agent will automatically gather any updates or upgrades to Pearl 

Echo when you update your Pearl Echo server.
