Update & migration

Updating LiveAgent

Before updating LiveAgent it is a good idea to check the changelog here (https://dev.ladesk.com/all/) and also to make sure that your server still meets the minimum system requirements here (https://support.liveagent.com/127000-LiveAgent-Requirements). Versions lower than 5.14 must be updated to an intermediary version (5.14 - 5.23) before you can proceed with update to the latest version.

Required intermediate update step of installations below versions 5.14 and 5.38

If your LiveAgent installation is running on version 5.38 or above you are safe and no intermediate step is required before updating to the latest available version. Due to significant changes to the product code and update process of standalone installations, customers with standalone installations on older versions have to perform an intermediate update step instead of updating their LiveAgent installation to the latest version directly. We highly recommend migrating (https://support.liveage...

Migrating standalone version of LiveAgent to cloud

Due to the growing challenges associated with migration from the Standalone version to our Cloud, we have decided that these migrations will no longer be possible after your Standalone installation has been updated past version 5.44.

Make LiveAgent listen on different port or fix licensing issues

Standalone customers might sometime need to change the server name / domain name which LiveAgent recognizes. This server name is used in license checks and in construction of some software side URL addresses. If for example your LiveAgent is installed at www.example.com but the licensing server recognizes the installation as being installed at www.example.com:123 or you wish to achieve the opposite and make LiveAgent work on www.example.com:123 then you'll need to change the way how server name...

Installer Error: Failed to execute SQL when updating from LiveAgent 5.9.5

If you run into error "Failed to execute SQL" when updating LiveAgent, and installer is stuck on version 5.9.5, then your DB tables most probably have incorrect storage engine and / or incorrect collation.
