Upgrading Xpress Insight

You can upgrade Xpress Insight by running the latest installer.
Before upgrading, check the Xpress Insight Release Notes for any information you might need to consider as part of the upgrade (such as any changes to supported versions of third-party software).

If you install Xpress Insight on a system that has had a previous version of Insight installed using a different type of license, you must remove the existing data. This should be done after uninstalling the previous version, but before installing the new version. You can find the data directory by referring to the insight.server.persistence.filesystem.path property in the application.properties file.

If you have app data you want to preserve, export the app before uninstalling the existing version. You can then import the app into Insight 5 after the upgrade.

Xpress Insight uses the configured environment variable paths to your installed instance of Xpress 9.8.1 and your installed instance of Java 17.

To upgrade, run the latest Xpress Insight installer for your operating system. You do not need to uninstall the previous version first.
  • On Windows systems, download and run the latest installer.
  • On Linux, run the following command:
    rpm --upgrade fico-xpress-insight-server-[version].x86_64.rpm
The installer updates your installation, retaining your apps and configuration. It then automatically uninstalls the previous version.
