- [Lecturer] Now at this point in our installation process,
everything that we've done has been related
to installed SOLIDWORDS PDM Standard.
Now let's say an amount of time has gone by
and you've decided that you want to upgrade this
to the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.
I'm going to go ahead and go through that process
before adding and vaults and creating any
complications that'll arise during it.
It's a pretty simple process.
So you can see here as in the other videos
I have my remote desktop connection
to my server location.
I'm going to go ahead and open up the Control Panel,
go to Uninstall a program.
Slide down to SOLIDWORKS PDM server.
I'm going to right click and do a Change on this.
So similar to before when we modified it
to make sure that we had the archived database
and client servers all installed,
we're going to go through the install shield wizard again.
So we're going to his Next.
Again we're going to choose Modify,
and at this point we're going to select
SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.
Before we did everything with SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard
and now we're going to transition into the
SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional installation.
So we go ahead and hit Next.
You'll notice unlike before we have some more options here.
We have the Web Server and Web2 Server.
Again we're not going to be doing any web server activities
or installations as part of this video series.
Large companies tend to use these,
but it's sort of a course in itself
and these are used mostly for remotely
accessing your vaults around the world.
All right, as you can see, I've got my
Archive Server selected, my Database Server selected
and my Client selected.
Let's go ahead and click Next.
Here you'll see again I've got the
SOLIDWORKS PDM CAD Editor selected.
Previously we went through with the Contributor
in viewer stand for, but very quickly contributors
can add data and modify data that isn't CAD related,
and viewers can simply view the data that's in the vault,
where a CAD editor has full permissions if granted.
So Next, here you see we have a few options.
We can integrate all of the Microsoft Office tools,
so that we can use PDM right inside of Office.
I do this myself on my client station,
but for the server location
this isn't going to be required
and the same goes for all the other Add-Ins.
So you can see though to note
we also have Add-Ins for Inventor and AutoCAD.
So PDM is not exclusive to SOLIDWORKS.
You can use it for data management
of all kinds of file types.
So let's go ahead and click Next.
Here we're going to find the name of our SQL server
hosting the PDM database.
So we're going to click on Browse
and just wait a second while that populates.
We're going to choose the local server.
Now we're going to type in our administrator password
for the SQL server.
Again you'll want to make sure that you have this
noted somewhere.
Go ahead and click Next and then click Install.
All right, now you can see that we have to update
our archive server configuration as well.
So let's go ahead and walk through that.
Again our available users are already pre-populated.
So I'm also going to add the Administrator
for the unit that I'm working on.
And hit Finish.
Now with most of our installation processes
we do have to do a restart, so I'm in my
remote desktop session right now.
I'm going to go ahead and click Yes.
This machine is going to restart.
My remote desktop connection is going to drop out.
And now we simply wait for the server machine
to come back up and we can re-establish our connection.
Now that we know our server machine has been re-booted
and is up and running,
let's go ahead and connect our remote desktop
connection again and verify that
everything's been installed properly and updated.
So we're going to go back in and we'll go ahead
and take a look at the Control Panel.
Here in our program list we can see
we've got PDM server, License Manager and SQL Server still,
so everything looks good here.
If we go into our drop down
we've got SOLIDWORKS PDM with all the tools
we've already installed and updated.
License Manager, and it looks like everything's going well.
So from this point forward
we're going to be proceeding with everything
in SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.
