Updating a Previous Installation
IMPORTANT! Back up your database before you update your Cirris software installation.
Depending on the software version that is currently installed, you may need to perform special
steps before installing the current version.
• If your previously installed software version is older than 2008.2.0, you must remove the previous
version and store its data files before you install the new version.
• If your previously installed software version is 2008.2.0 or newer, proceed with the instructions
below.
Note: If you are unsure of the previously installed version number, start your Easy-Wire software
and check the version information (located on the right side of the Easy-Wire main menu) before
proceeding.
Installing Easy-Wire Software and Cirris Server Software
There may be driver conflicts between your tester and Windows. We therefore advise you to
install the software before attaching the tester.
1. Install Cirris Server Software on the server by downloading Cirris Server Software
from cirrris.com and following the installation steps as they appear on screen. This will
allow networking on all Easy-Wire stations.
2. Install Easy-Wire on each of the client PCs in the same manner by downloading Easy-
Wire from cirris.com and following the installation steps as they appear on screen.
During the software install, the drivers will automatically load to your machine. If the installation is aborted
or fails, you can install the drivers manually. The driver needed to run the USB testers is called
Silicon_Labs_Driver. The current version can be found under C:\Program Files
(x86)\Cirris\Easywire\Silicon_Labs_Driver.
