The directions for upgrading CAREWare from CAREWare 5 to CAREWare 6, here, recommend uninstalling CAREWare 5 and closing port 8124. However, CAREWare 5 and CAREWare 6 can be installed on the same server at the same time.
Here is a diagram of the CAREWare 5 architecture.
Here is a diagram of the CAREWare 6 architecture.
Note: The installation of two business tiers on a single PC or server is not generally recommended because it can lead to confusion of which installation is in use and to difficulty upgrading each business tier.
To install CAREWare 6 on a CAREWare 5 server:
- Download the CAREWare Business Tier and HTTP Server here.
- Run the CAREWare Business Tier and CAREWare HTTP Server installation files listed under the build number.
- Install a second SQL Server database instance for CAREWare 6 using the SQL Server Setup here.
- Create the CAREWare database by running the queries here on the CAREWare instance that was created. Click here to download a clean backup file used to create the database if there isn't a current CAREWare database backup for the organization.
- Configure the database connection string follow the instructions here.
Note: In this case, the server name is CWHD1 and the database instance name is CAREWare6. The password is for the login cwbt in the CAREWare database. The default password is CWtemp100%. - Once the database connection string is complete, save the file.
Note: Make sure the file saved as an XML file and replaced the original file. - Enter unique values for the EURNGeneratorQueuePrefix for each of the CAREWare databases in Common Storage Settings. The NULL default value is ok for one of them.
- Connect to the CAREWare database instance using SQL Server Management Studio.
- Expand Databases.
- Expand CW_Data.
- Expand Tables.
- Right click cw_common_storage.
- Click Edit Top 200 Rows.

- Install Message Queuing by following the instructions here.
- Open a browser and enter the URL http://localhost:8080/rs/index.htm to log in.
CAREWare 5 continues to operate connecting on port 8124 and to the CAREWare database identified in CW Admin. CAREWare 6 will connect on port 8000 and to the CAREWare database identified in CW Admin.
CAREWare 6 includes options for setting a unique URL and setting additional security features by using the HTTP Server Setup. Click here for instructions for the HTTP Server Setup.
