Upgrading to v8.5

To upgrade to Empower 8.5, administrators need to make the following changes in order to their current system configuration files:

1. SQL Server: Upgrade to version 2016 or above.
2. Config Server Page: The password on this page will be reset during the upgrade. Please contact our Customer Success Team to change it.
3. Immediately after upgrading to 8.5, update the <dependentAssembly> section of your web.config file for Newtonsoft.Json as follows:

<runtime>
  <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity name="Newtonsoft.Json" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" culture="neutral"/>
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-13.0.0.0" newVersion="13.0.0.0"/>
    </dependentAssembly>
  </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
