To upgrade your PlateSpin Forge Server to PlateSpin Forge 11.1 Appliance Version 3, you must have an existing installation of PlateSpin Forge 11.0 Appliance Version 3.
NOTE:If you currently use PlateSpin Forge 4 Appliance Version 2 or earlier, you must first upgrade your system to PlateSpin Forge 11.0 Appliance Version 3 before you can upgrade to PlateSpin Forge 11.1 Appliance Version 3. Depending on the version of Forge you currently use, you might need to follow an incremental upgrade path. See The Upgrade Paths
in the PlateSpin Forge 11.0 Upgrade Guide, and then follow the upgrade instructions in that guide as needed.
When you upgrade PlateSpin Forge 11.0 to Forge 11.1, no upgrade occurs for the VMware ESXi appliance host or the Windows operating system for the Forge VM. It upgrades only the Forge software. All existing licenses (PlateSpin Forge, SQL Server, Windows, and VMware ESXi) carry forward for the upgrade.
