Software Update to Version 9
The update to version 9 requires to update the CLIENT and the SERVER software. The installations of both updates require administration rights on the computer(s) where the client and server are running. If only the client is updated the user cannot login anymore until the server is updated. After the server is updated only users with an updated client can login.
This page describes the update process from version 5 or above to version 9. If you are currently using SeqSphere+ version 4 or older, please see the specific page for updating version 4.
On Windows the update must be installed by downloading and executing the Windows installers below. The execution of the installers requires administration rights on the computer. Some of the new features (MOB-suite, MobileElementFinder, and SISTR) are dependent on updating the Windows Subsystem for Linux on the SeqSphere+ client computer (as described in last step below).
On Linux the update must be installed by removing (or renaming) the whole installation directory and replace it with the new one from tgz archive files below. If the server start script file rcseqsphereserver.sh was modified manually, be sure to save it before updating. Some of the new features (MOB-suite, MobileElementFinder, and SISTR) are dependent on installing additional bioinformatic tools on the SeqSphere+ client computer (as described in last step below).
