Chapter 3. Installation
3.4. Installing the ThinLinc Terminal Server
3.4.1. Starting the Installation Program
The installation program is located in the root directory of the Server Bundle. Extract the bundle and
start the installation program as follows:
sh ./install-server
If you prefer, you can also install the ThinLinc packages by hand. These packages are located in
platform-specific subdirectories in the Server Bundle; either serverkit-linux or
serverkit-solaris.
After installing the software packages, Thinlinc must be configured. This is done by the program
/opt/thinlinc/sbin/tl-setup. If you are running install-server, it will ask you if you want
to start tl-setup at the end of the package installation.
3.5. Upgrading an Old Installation
Upgrading an old installation of ThinLinc is very much like installing it from scratch. The only
difference is that you will have to adapt the old settings in /opt/thinlinc/etc/conf.d/ to the new
configuration files afterwards.
3.5.1. Acquire New Licenses
Before performing an upgrade, find out if you need new license files to run the new version. ThinLinc
license files delivered with version x.y.z will still work for versions with the same x and y but higher z,
but not for increased x or y. For example, license files for ThinLinc 3.1.0 will still work for ThinLinc
3.1.1, but not for ThinLinc 3.2.0 or ThinLinc 4.0.0.
Contact your reseller for new licenses. If you bought ThinLinc with a maintenance agreement, new
licenses will be provided without cost.
As the new licenses will work with the old (current) version, it’s a good idea to install them as the first
step in the upgrade process.
3.5.2. Run the Installation Program
The same installation program that you used to install ThinLinc is also used to upgrade it. It is located in
the root directory of the Server Bundle. Extract the bundle and start the installation program as follows:
sh ./install-server
and answer the questions. If you prefer, you can also upgrade the ThinLinc packages by hand. These
packages are located in platform-specific subdirectories on the Server Bundle; either serverkit-linux
or serverkit-solaris.
