Follow these instructions to upgrade an older version of SigningHub Enterprise to the latest version.


Launch the installer by right-clicking the file name [SigningHub Installation Directory]/setup/install.bat and select Run as administrator. 


Follow the installation wizard as described previously until the Installation Type screen is shown:

 



Click the Next button to view and accept the license agreement:



Click the I Agree button to proceed.



Click Browse and define the path to the existing SigningHub Enterprise installation directory. 

Click the Next button to select the SigningHub data storage directory:
On the SigningHub Document Storage Configurations screen you can either choose a File System Storage or Azure Blob Storage or Database Storage. 


If the Document Storage is either on local file system or on the local network path, then select the option File System Storage.

 

 

The information displayed above is an example and you should configure the relevant settings for your own environment.\


Click Browse and specify a storage path to store the SigningHub data.

 

Document Storage path can be a local drive, a network drive or an Azure blob. If the path is on a local drive, then the installer will automatically assign the read/write permissions to the "IIS_IUSRS" user group. 
If the path is on a network/Azure drive, then the permissions should be assigned manually to a user before continuing the installation process. 

To add the permissions on a network drive, follow these instructions:

  1. Create a domain/Azure user with read/write permissions.
  2. Add the read/write permissions on the directory [Document Storage Path] and complete the installation process.
  3. Now go to IIS Manager and add the user created in step 1 in Application Pool against all SigningHub websites one by one as shown  below (Skip this step if SigningHub Enterprise is installed by using Windows Authentication)

 



If this is not a File System Storage and you choose the second option to Azure Blob Storage then the following screen is shown:
