This chapter explains how to install the KonaKart Business and KonaKart Enterprise Editions.
Please read this section carefully before attempting the installation for the first time.
The KonaKart Enterprise Extensions are installed "on top of" a standard Community Edition installation of KonaKart. Therefore, before you begin, ensure that you have installed KonaKart Community Edition successfully. (This is not required for the Business Edition because the Business Edition is installed with its own single installer).
The Enterprise Extensions require a Community Edition installation of the same version. Therefore, if you are using an earlier version of KonaKart, you will need to upgrade to the appropriate Community Edition version before attempting an installation of the Enterprise Extensions. There are database upgrade scripts available to help you migrate up to new versions of KonaKart - see the KonaKart installation for details.
Ensure that KonaKart has been stopped before you start the installation process.
Ensure that you have backed up your existing KonaKart data before proceeding. This is a critical step before any upgrade or installation of KonaKart.
There are no additional platform requirements for the Enterprise Extensions - so if your Community Edition of KonaKart is running successfully on your particular platform, you can have confidence that the Enterprise Extensions will also work.
You will need a valid license to run the Business or Enterprise Editions. You need to obtain a license owner code and a license key from KonaKart then enter this in the Licensing Panel of the KonaKart Administration Application. The key will have an expiry date that will be displayed on the Licensing Panel.
The only pre-requisite for the Enterprise Edition is:
A successfully installed KonaKart Community Edition
The pre-requisites for the Business Edition are exactly the same as those for the Community Edition of Konakart (a Java runtime environment and a supported database available to be populated by KonaKart). See "Before You Begin" for more details.
