Installing a Hotfix

When a hotfix becomes available, update your instances to the latest hotfix.
  1. On the computer where Silk Central is installed, locate and double-click the setup file.
  2. Follow the instructions on the Installation Wizard.
  3. When the installation has completed, open a browser and navigate to the URL http://localhost:19100/ (if it doesn't open automatically).
    Note: You cannot access the Instance Administration page from a remote computer.
    The Instance Administration page appears. At this point you should reset your browser cache, otherwise fixes in JavaScript and style sheets may not get activated.
  4. In the Version column, click the Install Hotfix <version> link to start the upgrade. A dialog appears to activate maintenance mode.
  5. Enter a notification text that users will see when they try to access Silk Central, for example: Silk Central is currently unavailable as we're performing updates. The system will be back online again shortly. Click Yes to activate maintenance mode and start the upgrade.
  6. Once the update has completed, click Start to start the instance again.
Repeat the Instance Administration steps for each instance that you want to update.
Tip: Remind your users to reset their browser cache, otherwise fixes in JavaScript and style sheets may not get activated.
