Warning

Update the Management Console before you update Resilio Agents.

Windows

To update Resilio Management Console on Windows:

  1. Stop Resilio Active Everywhere Management Console service.
  2. Download the Resilio Active Everywhere Console MSI file and launch it.
  3. Follow the installation wizard steps. When picking the path for the installation, pick the one where the current Resilio Management Console is installed.
  4. When prompted for the user account running the Resilio Management Console, pick the one you use now. If it is not on the list, you'll need to take the additional step 5 after the installation.
  5. Open the Services application and change the user account running Resilio Active Everywhere Management Console service if necessary. If changed, it will require a service restart.

Linux

To update Resilio Management Console on Linux:

  1. Stop Management Console.

    • If your Management Console is not registered as daemon: 

      /opt/resilio-connect-server/srvctrl stop

    • If your Management Console registered as daemon: 

      systemctl stop resilio-connect-server

  2. Install the update.

    Tarball

    1. Download, then extract the Management Console tarball archive:

      sudo tar zxf resilio-connect-server-linux-x64.tar.gz -C /opt

    2. Run the update-or-install script to check if the necessary libraries are available and complete the installation:

      sudo /opt/resilio-connect-server/update-or-install

      If all the dependencies are present, the script will complete the installation and exit silently. If not, the script will exit with an error. Contact our support team to get help with the installation.

      Ubuntu 25.10

      If the script fails to run, change the owner of the /opt/resilio-connect-server/ folder and its contents to the root user: sudo chown -R root /opt/resilio-connect-server.

    sudo yum install resilio-connect-management-console-<version>_<architecture>.rpm

    Note

    In Resilio 4.2.1 and newer, the package is named resilio-connect-server-x86_64.rpm.

  3. Start the Management Console service:

    • If your Management Console is not registered as daemon: 

      /opt/resilio-connect-server/srvctrl start

    • If your Management Console registered as daemon: 

      systemctl start resilio-connect-server

Linux - tarball to RPM/DEB

If you're running a Management Console instance installed from a tarball archive you can switch to a DEB or RPM based packages.

Prerequisites

  • Architecture: x64 (amd64, x86_64)
  • Init manager: systemd (with systemctl)

Note

Even though legacy init.d script is available in the packages, it is not guaranteed to work on every GNU/Linux distribution, so it's recommended to use a distribution with systemd.

The Management Console installed from a tarball archive is, by default, extracted to the /opt folder.

To update a Management Console installed from a tarball archive to a DEB/RPM package:

  1. Upgrade the Management Console to the latest version and stop the service.
  2. Install the same version of Management Console using DEB/RPM package. During the installation a new service file /lib/systemd/system/resilio-connect-management-console.service and a new Management Console storage folder in /var/opt/resilio-connect-management-console are created.
  3. Edit /lib/systemd/system/resilio-connect-management-console.service file and change "user" and "group" to the user that used to run the current Management Console instance.
  4. Copy the content of the tarball-installed Management Console's storage folder /opt/resilio-connect-server/var/ to new storage folder of the package-installed Management Console /var/opt/resilio-connect-management-console/.
  5. Start the package-installed Management Console.
  6. Disable the Management Console daemon if it's been registered during installation if it was registered before.
