Upgrading Kofax VRS to a newer version

Issue

How to upgrade Kofax VRS from current version to a newer version?

Solution

Make sure no Kofax software is currently running on the station.

When you start the installation (setup.exe), the existing instance of Kofax VRS is detected and noted on the first installer screen: "The InstallShield Wizard will upgrade Kofax VRS on your computer."

From that point forward, the installer guides you through the upgrade process.

NOTE: You can upgrade to latest Kofax VRS Elite 5.2 without removing your existing 4.x or 5.x version beforehand.

Before performing an upgrade from Kofax VRS 4.x, you must obtain a Kofax VRS Elite upgrade license.
