System Ugrade and Restore
Upgrading, deleting, and restoring from a StoreHouse 5 backup is done through the installer.
You can either upgrade the StoreHouse 5 version or restore the system from a backup. It is the same process and always needs a backup. You can "update" StoreHouse 5 to a similar version — the installer will simply recreate the database and copy the existing information there.
It is possible to restore the database via the command line, but this is not the recommended way.

During the upgrade, all manually created printing forms are replaced with standard ones |
Useful Information Before Upgrade
If you use several StoreHouse databases, then for correct operation, you need to update them all sequentially, one after another. This is due to the fact that when there are several databases, one version of the libraries is used. If you upgrade only one StoreHouse to a new version, then the versions of the rest databases will not be able to work with the new version.
Therefore, before upgrading, keep in mind that you will have to update all databases sequentially.

Installing New Server Instance

This is due to the fact that during installation the path of the last installed instance is remembered in the registry. Therefore, with the subsequent installation of servers, it will not be possible to upgrade the StoreHouse 5 version on all instances, except for the last installed one. An example of such a setup:
