This topic describes how to upgrade a trial installation of the Express product to the full Express product.
Knowing which components to install and in what order to install them is important. Before starting this installation, see Planning the WebSphere Application Server product installation. The planning diagrams show typical topologies for the product. The solutions are also available through the Installation solution diagrams link in the launchpad. See Using the launchpad to start installations. You cannot run the launchpad remotely to install a product. Only local use of the launchpad is supported.
Perform the following installation to upgrade a trial installation to the actual WebSphere® Application Server - Express product.
The wizard completes the upgrade and exits at then end of the upgrade without presenting another panel.
This procedure results in upgrading a trial installation to the actual WebSphere Application Server - Express product.
You can install the Express product again to add features.
Further configuration is not necessary at this time. However, you can create additional standalone application servers with the Profile Management Tool. Each profile is created in the profile_root directory by default.
If you have already created the topology that you require, try deploying an application in your environment.
Read the "Fast paths for WebSphere Application Server" topic to get started deploying applications.
