INSTALLATION: UPGRADING FROM AUTOSTORE 5.0 1. If a previous installation of AutoStore exists on your system, you will need to uninstall this version of AutoStore in order to continue with the installation of AutoStore 6. If you continue without uninstalling, you will receive a notification and the installation will stop. Select Finish to continue. Note that when upgrading from AutoStore 5.0 to AutoStore 6 many components have been moved to a Sunset category. Components that are under this category will continue to be supported but will no longer receive software updates. These components will not be provided with the default AutoStore 6 installation. In order to install any of these components, you must use the Update Services option within the AutoStore 6 Process Designer to download and install. 4
2. From the Start Menu, under the NSi folder, select Uninstall. You may need administrator rights to run the uninstall program. If this is the case, right-click on Uninstall in the Start Menu and select Run as administrator or ask your system administrator to grant you the necessary permissions. Note: Once you install AutoStore 6, you will NOT be able to revert back to a previous version of AutoStore. You should check with your system administrator before uninstalling any program. 5
3. You will be asked to confirm your decision to uninstall AutoStore. 4. It is possible you will receive notifications that background processes required for AutoStore are currently running and need to be closed before continuing with the uninstallation process. If this occurs, select OK and continue. (This may occur several times. In each instance, simply select OK to continue). 6
5. You may be asked to restart your computer. Check with your system administrator prior to restarting your computer. If no other necessary processes will be affected, select Yes to restart. If you do not receive this message, manually shutdown and restart your computer. 6. Once the uninstallation process has completed, start the installation process for AutoStore 6. Locate the software installation file. Right-click this file and choose Run as administrator, if you are installing on Windows 2008. Otherwise, double-click the file to begin the installation process. Note: If the installation is being retried after a first failed attempt, installation files may have already been downloaded. In this instance select OK to overwrite, and then continue with the AutoStore 6 installation. 7. Proceed to the NEW INSTALLATION section of INSTALLATION of this guide which will guide you through the remaining installation steps. 7
INSTALLATION: NEW INSTALLATION 1. Locate the software installation file. Right-click this file and choose Run as administrator, if you are installing on Windows 2008. Otherwise, double-click the file to begin the installation process. 2. If prompted to allow the program to make changes to the computer, select Yes. 8
3. Select a download path or accept the default location where the AutoStore 6 Installation files will be downloaded. The Download and Install option has been selected, but you may choose Download only which will allow you to download the installation files and resume installation at a later time or Install from local source which will allow you to install from a local drive where the installation files have been stored. Note that to Install from local source, both the large executable file and the zipped configuration file must be available. The location of this folder should be entered as the Local path. Additionally, the large executable file cannot on its own be used to initiate the installation process. Instead, the lite installer must be used to begin the installation process. 4. If.NET Framework 3.5 and.net Framework 4.0 have not been installed, you will see a warning message. If you receive this message, select Finish. Then download and install both.net Framework 3.5 and.net Framework 4.0. Check with your system administrator before installing.net Framework 3.5 and.net Framework 4.0. 9
5. Once.NET Framework 3.5 and.net Framework 4.0 have been installed, resume the installation process for AutoStore 6. The Download and Install option has been selected, but you may choose Download only which will allow you to download the installation files and resume installation at a later time or Install from local source which will allow you to install from a local drive where the installation files have been stored. Again, note that to Install from local source, both the large executable file and the zipped configuration file must be available. The location of this folder should be entered as the Local path. Additionally, the large executable file cannot on its own be used to initiate the installation process. Instead, the lite installer must be used to begin the installation process. 6. Wait for installation files to complete downloading. This may take several minutes depending on your network speed. 10
7. The AutoStore installer may install additional software that is required prior to installation of AutoStore 6. Select Install to continue. Check with your system administrator before installing any of these items. Note: At this point in the installation process, if your previous installation of AutoStore was unlicensed (licenses were expired), you will need to enter your Maintenance Contract ID to receive a Unlock Key to proceed with installation. If you encounter this message, please see the section labeled LICENSING AFTER UPGRADING FROM AN UNLICENSED AUTOSTORE 5.0 INSTALLATION which can be found in the LICENSING section of this guide. 11

If the terms of the end-user licensing agreement (EULA) are acceptable, select I accept the terms in the license agreement. Otherwise select I do not accept the terms in the license agreement and end the installation process. Not accepting EULA terms will end the installation process. 12
10. Provide user and company information. 13
11. By default, all capture and process components are pre-selected for installation.

You may also alter the default installation path by clicking the Change button and navigating to a new location. The path must be a local path and not a network location. 14
12. Select Install, to begin the installation process. 13. A status bar will show the progress of the installation. 15
