This guide describes how to upgrade the Kodak InSite Prepress Portal software to version 9.5.
The Prepress Portal 9.5 upgrade is available for systems running Prepress Portal 9.2 on Microsoft Windows 2019. Customers that use 9.1.1 or earlier versions of Kodak InSite must upgrade to InSite 9.2 before upgrading to version 9.5.
Prepress Portal 9.5 requires Kodak Prinergy Workflow or Prinergy Workflow Packaging Automation Expansion Pack 9.0.1 and later.
Important:
- If your system is not at Prepress Portal 9.2 on Windows 2019, do not attempt this upgrade and contact your local Response Center representative for assistance.
- If the installed version of your Prinergy server is not 9.0.1 or later, upgrade your Prinergy server before upgrading Prepress Portal to version 9.5.
- If you need assistance to upgrade to Prepress Portal 9.5, contact your local Response Center representative.
Due to increased concerns around cyber security and the potential for unsecured accounts to be used in ways that may affect business-critical systems, we recommend you consider changing account passwords present on your InSite Prepress Portal (IPP) server and consider periodically updating your portal server passwords. As IPP cooperates with the Prinergy server, you will need to change the passwords on the Prinergy server as well. For more information on changing passwords on Kodak servers, as well as general security best practices, see Partner Place article 74371.
For more information, see the current InSite Prepress Portal Release Notes and the InSite Client Configuration Technical Bulletin on Cloud Help, and the Prepress Portal System Administration Guide on https://partnerplace.kodak.com/.
Time required
Allow sufficient time for the upgrade process. The general installation of version 9.5 will take approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending upon configuration. InSite will not be online and your customers will not be able to upload or approve pages during this time.
