Upgrade memoQweb

memoQ and memoQ TMS get regular updates. Updates are very minor new versions that contain bug fixes only. An update has the exact same major and minor version number, but a higher build number. For example, 8.1.6 is an update to 8.1.5.

A few times a year, new versions are also released. These new versions contain new functionality as well as bug fixes. A new version has a different version number - maybe even the major version number is different. For example, 8.2.1 is a new version - an upgrade - to 8.1.6.

When you upgrade memoQ TMS to a new version or to a new build, you must upgrade memoQweb, too.

Always upgrade memoQ TMS first: You can upgrade memoQweb only after you upgrade memoQ TMS. But then you must do it.

How to get here

  1. Log in to the memoQ TMS computer through Remote Desktop.
  2. Open the Start screen or the Start menu: Press the Windows key.
  3. Type memoQ, and wait for the results to appear.
  4. In the list, click memoQ Server Deployment Administration.
  5. Windows may ask you to confirm to run the program. Click Yes or Run.
  6. The Deployment window opens. You need the second section (memoQweb):

    deptool-mqweb-section-upgr

The Upgrade memoQweb command is available only if the version of the Deployment tool is newer than the memoQweb version installed on the server computer

  1. To upgrade your copy of memoQweb, click Upgrade memoQweb.
  2. The Upgrade memoQweb wizard starts.

    deptool-mqweb-upgrade

What can you do?

Check the versions. The Deployment tool can upgrade your copy of memoQweb to the version it shows in the New version box.

If this is not the version you want to upgrade to, click Cancel.

To perform the upgrade, click Next.

If you need to restore an earlier version: Remove memoQweb, and then restore an earlier version of memoQ TMS. Then install memoQweb again from the Deployment tool of the earlier version.

Was memoQweb running in a 32-bit application pool?

From version 9.0, memoQ and memoQ TMS are 64-bit only. Because of this, you have to change memoQweb's IIS app pool to 64-bit. When you start the upgrade, this window opens:

deptool-mqs-upgrade-64bit

  • If memoQweb is the only application in that app pool, choose Change current app pool to 64-bit, then click the Next button.

  • If you have other applications in the same app pool, move memoQweb to another one: 

    1. Choose Choose a 64-bit app pool.
    2. Choose an app pool from the dropdown, or
      click the Create new pool link, and create a new 64-bit app pool.
    3. To perform the upgrade: Click the Next button.

When you finish

From a web browser, check the connection to memoQweb.
