Upgrading User Workstations

After the development and migration tasks are completed, all Wwise users can upgrade to the current version of Wwise.

Upgrade Wwise on all workstations:

  1. Optionally, uninstall all Wwise components. This may include:

    • Wwise authoring application

    • Wwise SDK

    For more information about uninstalling, refer to Uninstalling Wwise.

    [Note] Note

    It is not necessary to uninstall Wwise. If required, you can maintain several builds and versions of Wwise on the same workstation.

  2. Install the current version of Wwise. This may include:

    • Wwise authoring application

    • Wwise SDK

    • Wwise Game Simulator

    For more information about installing, refer to Installing or Upgrading Wwise and its Packages.

All users access the migrated Wwise project:

  1. After you have installed the latest version of Wwise, retrieve the migrated Wwise project.

  2. Open Wwise.

    The End-User License Agreement is displayed.

  3. Read the agreement and if you accept, click Accept.

    The Project Launcher window opens.

  4. Open the migrated project.

    [Note] Note

    If some users have work units in the Wwise project that have been saved locally and are not under source control, a message appears prompting them to accept that these work units will be migrated when the project opens in the new version of Wwise.

    Before the project can be loaded, Wwise checks to make sure that the project cache folder is compatible with the current version. If not, Wwise deletes the project cache folder. When the project cache is deleted, the following message box is displayed.

  5. Click OK.

    After the cache is deleted, the project is loaded into Wwise.
