Dataristix™ 3

Announcing Dataristix version 3! This is a free update for users with a current support & maintenance agreement.

This page has been updated: Dataristix 3 is released and now available for download!

Upgrading from Dataristix 2

Dataristix 3 installs side-by-side with Dataristix 2. If you are upgrading from Dataristix 2, then export your Dataristix 2 project and import it into Dataristix 3.

Note that your OPC UA clients, MQTT clients, and REST clients will have a different identity certificate, and you may need to trust the new Dataristix 3 clients on the OPC UA server side, the MQTT broker side (if using certificates for identification), or the REST server side (if using certificates for identification).

When ready, stop tasks on your Dataristix 2 instance, disable auto-start for all tasks, then run your new Dataristix 3 instance in trial mode until you are happy that all is functioning. Finally, deactivate your Dataristix 2 instance and active your Dataristix 3 instance by entering your license key. Any problems? Contact us, we are here to help!
