Upgrade to ID Server 8.0/8.x

Pointsharp 8.0 is a major release and has specific requirements when it comes to upgrades. Depending on the version you are upgrading from, there are two upgrade paths.

It is very important that you follow the correct path for your system. Choosing an incorrect upgrade path will leave your system corrupt.
Regardless of your current version, make sure to back up any graphical changes you have done to any of the portals or login forms.
The system will not be responsive during the upgrade, therefore an upgrade has to be carefully planned before it is executed.

If you have any questions regarding the upgrade to version 8.0, please contact Pointsharp support.
