This step-by-step guide is intended to outline the main steps for the WebSpellChecker application upgrade and reinstallation on the same server (hardware). 

1. Stop AppServer

Stop AppServer of the existing installation. 

2. Install New Version

Install a new version of the application referring to one of the manuals below.


Important: If you are reinstalling/upgrading the application on the same server, you must skip the License Activation step. On both Windows and Linux-based environments the license is stored in a special system directory outside the WebSpellChecker installation folder and will be applied automatically.

3. Start AppServer

Once you completed all the upgrade/reinstallation steps, you need to start AppServer of your new installation.

4. Verify Operability

First of all, you need to check the application version and status. The version check will confirm the exact version of the application that you are running. The status check will provide you the health statuses of the main application engines: Spell Check, Grammar, Thesaurus.

  • Version: http(s)://your_host_name:[port]/spellcheck/script/ssrv.cgi?cmd=ver
  • Status: http(s)://your_host_name:[port]/spellcheck/script/ssrv.cgi?cmd=status

In addition to the version and status checks, you have to ensure that integrated spell/grammar checking functionality works properly in your web-system after the migration. Go to your web-system and check the controls where you expect to have spell/grammar checking.
