Mac OS X – Upgrading to <strong>Version</strong> 5.3 <br />
Archiving Current Installations <br />
To Archive a Database: <br />
1. Run the existing Veripress Server and <strong>Serendipity</strong> Client. <br />
2. Go to the <strong>Serendipity</strong> Client Application menu > Archives (This <br />
application is called Archiver in earlier versions). <br />
3. Select File menu > Perform Full Backup. <br />
4. Alternatively, select Edit menu > Add to Archive (All) and add <br />
all database items to the archive file, or right-‐click in the <br />
Archives window and select Add to Archive (All) > Everything <br />
from the contextual menu. <br />
5. Once all database items have appeared in the Archives window, <br />
select File menu > Save Archive to save the .sdb archive file to a <br />
chosen location. <br />
6. Close the Archives application when finished. <br />
Installing the Dongle Driver <br />
The first step is to install the dongle driver. <br />
To install: <br />
1. Remove all SuperPro USB dongles. <br />
2. On the DVD, navigate to the dongle/macosx folder. <br />
3. Double click the Sentinel System Driver.pkg file to launch the installer. <br />
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. <br />
5. Restart the computer when finished. <br />
Installing the Veripress <strong>Version</strong> 5.3 Upgrade <br />
To upgrade: <br />
1. Insert the Veripress installation DVD and navigate to the macosx folder. <br />
2. Run the Veripress.pkg file. <br />
3. Select the drive and location to install the software. The installer will choose the current installation location <br />
by default, which in most cases is /Applications/<strong>Serendipity</strong>. <br />
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the upgrade. <br />
5. Plug the Veripress dongle into an available USB port. <br />
6. Start the Veripress v5.3 Server and the <strong>Serendipity</strong> Client. <br />
If the installation location was not changed, the existing database should appear once the Server and Client have <br />
restarted, reformatted and intact in the Workbench. The Client should open with the previous versions configuration. <br />
If the installation location was changed, or in the event the existing database is not complete, the database backup <br />
needs to be imported using the Archives application. <br />
To import an existing database backup: <br />
1. Open the Archives application from the <strong>Serendipity</strong> Client Application menu. <br />
2. In Archives, select File menu > Open Archive. <br />
3. Navigate to and select the saved backup archive .sdb file. Click Open. The archive will open in the Archives <br />
window and display all database items from the previously backed-‐up configuration. <br />
4. Once the archive has loaded, select Edit menu > Add to Database > Whole Archive. This will import the entire <br />
database. <br />
5. Alternatively, choose individual items to import from the list and select Edit > Add to Database > Selected <br />
Nodes. <br />
6. The database items will be imported and appear in the Workbench for use. <br />
For further information on Archives and backing-‐up databases, see the “Archives” section of this manual. <br />
