Upgrade previous versions

This topic lists considerations for developers already using an earlier version of Kofax OmniPage Capture SDK and plan to use version 22.0.0.

For the detailed installation procedure, refer to the "Install and launch Kofax OmniPage Capture SDK " section in the Getting Started Guide.

  • You do not need to remove the previous version of the Capture Software Development Kit product. If you prefer to remove it, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features. First remove any add-on programs, and then remove Kofax OmniPage Capture SDK.

  • Take care when installing and uninstalling the add-ons, such as Form Template Editor and Document Classifier Assistant. Use these tools only with the version of CSDK they are shipped with. To avoid issues, consider the following:

    • You can set up the add-ons along with CSDK (recommended). On the welcome screen of the setup launcher, select Customize installation and select the required component (Document Classifier Assistant, Form Template Editor, or both) before clicking Start installation.

    • If you already installed CSDK v22 without the add-ons, you can still install those later. Start the setup launcher and select Customize installation. The setup launcher marks OmniPage Capture SDK already installed. Select the add-ons you prefer, then start the installation.

    • When uninstalling CSDK, the installation wizard does not uninstall the add-ons, but in some cases makes those unusable. Refer to the "Uninstall Kofax OmniPage Capture SDK" section in the Getting Started Guide.

  • The installation wizard does not install, upgrade, or uninstall OPLA. OPLA is provided with the installation package, but you need to configure and deploy it on your own. Refer to the "Managing licenses with OPLA" section in the Getting Started Guide for detailed instructions.

    For details on how to upgrade OPLA, see the OPLA is not updated with the installation topic.
