Use the installers to install the new version. Best practice is to use a new folder for the installation and integrate the version of inspectIT into the folder name.
Necessary adaptions
If you are running UI on the latest MacOSx you might need to start the UI using the startup script. More on this can be found here.
Things that will not work anymore
inspectIT dismissed the support for 32bit operating systems. This means that from this release and further on there will be only 64bit release packages available.
To better support asynchronous and EUM tracing, inspectIT did a breakable change in the data model of the tracing data. This means that all the tracing data saved in storage with previous versions will not be openable in version 1.8.3 and later.Â
