Description

Notes:
  • Users who have an existing installation of any version from Statistica 12 SP1 (12.0.65.4) through version 13.2.1 may upgrade directly to Statistica 13.3.0 without uninstalling the prior version of Statistica.  For any version prior to Statistica 12 SP1 (V12., V11, V10, etc.), an uninstall must first be performed, then a full install of Statistica 13.3.x can be performed. 
  • It is necessary to uninstall any updates in order to upgrade to 13.3.x.  
  • 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\Dell (or Statistica)\Statistica <version #>\) as there was a reported issue when an upgrade occurred from 13.2 to 13.3.0 that networks were missing.  

 

Issue/Introduction

How to upgrade an existing installation of Statistica to version 13.3.x.

Environment

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and above.

Resolution

The following steps, below, show  version 13.3.0 but the process is similar for version 13.3.1 (or any 13.3.x) version. 

Desktop Upgrades

1.  Download the installer files through the eDelivery website.  There isn't a upgrade installer, like with prior versions, but the full installer is used to upgrade.    See  Where and how to download Statistica 13.3 installer files.  
2.  Unzip the TIB_stat_13.3.0_win file by right clicking on the file and select "Extract All...":
Unzip folder

Extract All

3.  Close any open application, go to the folder, by default it will have the same name as the zipped file, and double-click the CDSTART application :
Installer Files
4.  Click the "Install" button to Install any requirements, if necessary (if prompted to reboot, select "Yes"):
Requirements
5.  Check the upgrade box and click the "Next" button:
Upgrade option dialog

Important Note:  Leaving the upgrade box unchecked will install Statistica 13.3.0 side-by-side with the existing version.  This is not recommended as Statistica may not work properly.
 
6. Click the "Install" button:
Ready to Install - Click Install button
7.  Depending on the system speed and resources, the installer will complete between 5 to 10:
Installing
8.  Click the "Finish" button to complete:

Network Installs (Concurrent Borrowing and Enterprise)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  •  The upgrade installer will only upgrade the server component of a network install.  Workstations/clients are upgraded only from the server after the server upgrade has completed
  • For Statistica Enterprise installations, It is highly recommended to perform a backup of the Statistica Enterprise metadata database before upgrading.

For network installs, the steps in the SERVER (Part 1) must be performed first, only then can the steps in the WORKSTATION/CLIENTS (Part 2) be followed:

SERVER (Part 1)

1.   Download the installer files through the eDelivery website. There isn't a upgrade installer, like with prior versions, but the full installer is used to upgrade.  See  Where and how to download Statistica 13.3 installer files.
2.   Copy the zipped file to the server with the Statistica application files:
Zipped folder
3.  Unzip the file to any location, keeping the same name if possible:
Extract All...
4.  Browse to the unzipped folder and double-click on CDSTART to launch the installer:
CD Start
5. Click the "Install" button to Install any requirements, if necessary:
Installation requirements
6.  Click to check the upgrade box and then click the "Next" button:
Upgrade dialog
7.  Click the "Install" button:
Install Dialog
8.  Depending on the system speed, resources, and the size of the install, the installer will complete between 10 and 20 minutes:
Installing
9.  Once complete, a notification will appear.  Click the "OK" button:
Server Upgrade Complete
10.  Click the "Finish" button to finish:
Finish Dialog
11.  Click "Yes" to restart:
Restart - Click Yes
Steps 12 through 14 only apply to Enterprise installs:
12.   (Enterprise only) When Statistica is launched for the first time after the upgrade, the enterprise metadata database must be upgraded.  Click the "Yes" button:
Upgrade Database required
13.   (Enterprise Only)  Click the "Yes" button to upgrade if a backup of database has been performed already.  Otherwise please click the "No" button and perform a back up of the metadata database, then launch Statistica again and click the "Yes" button:
Upgrade- are you sure with backup recommendation
14.   (Enterprise Only) A successful dialog should appear:
Successful Database Upgrade

Workstation (Part 2)

To upgrade individual workstations, follow these steps:

1.  Share the Statistica 13 folder on the server with read-only permissions
2.  Logon to the workstation and run the setup.exe from the Workstation Installer 64 (or 32) folder (a sub-folder of the Statistica 13 shared folder):
Shared folder
3.  The installer will detect an existing Statistica install.  Check the box to upgrade the current install:
Upgrade dialog

The upgrade will uninstall and then install 13.3.x.  

Note:  For current installs of 13.1 or below, uninstall the current version through  Control Panel | Programs and Features.  Then perform a clean install by running setup.exe in the Workstation Installer 64 (or 32) folder, a sub-folder of the Statistica 13 shared from the server.
