Spotfire Statistica V12 SP1 through 13.3.1

Description

  • Users who have an existing installation of any version from Statistica 12 SP1 (12.0.65.4) through version 13.3.1 may upgrade directly to Statistica 13.4 without uninstalling.    For any version prior to Statistica 12 SP1 (V12., V11, V10, etc.), an uninstall must first be performed, then a full install of Statistica 13.4 can be performed. 
  • It is necessary to uninstall any updates in order to upgrade to 13.4 (hotfixes are not required to be uninstalled).  Updates are uninstalled from Control Panel | Programs and Features  by right-clicking the update and selecting "Uninstall".  Below is an example of an update:
Uninstall updates
  • For a renewals where the licensing has changed (where the license has more analysis modules), a complete uninstall and a clean installation is suggested to make sure the new analysis modules are installed and available.  
  • Important Note:    Please make a backup of the Networks Analytics sub-folder  (typical location is <local server drive>:\Program Files\Statistica\Statistica <version #>\) as there was a reported issue when an upgrade occurred from 13.2 to 13.3.0 that networks were missing.  For Enterprise only (this includes Statistica Server, Live Score, MAS, Web Data Entry), it is strongly recommended to make a backup of the Enterprise metadata database.
