Follow these steps to upgrade an XA 4.13 Server to a 4.14 Server. These steps will assist in retaining existing data during the upgrade.

  1. Verify the server meets the target system requirements.

  2. Export the database encryption keys for both the Proximity Card and SSO database servers if they have not previously been exported and backed up.

    ℹ️ How to Export Keys

    Note: If keys have been previously exported and backed up, this step is not necessary.

  4. Run the HealthCast ExactACCESS Server x64.msi installation file as a user with local administrator privileges.
