Run the new MAWi installer on the same PC where MAWi is currently installed.

The installer will detect the existing MAWi installation and upgrade it to the latest version.



4. Complete the installation

Follow the instructions in the installation wizard until the upgrade process is completed.

When the installation is finished, restart the MAWi services or restart the PC if requested.

After the upgrade is completed, open MAWi and confirm that:

  • Your screens are listed correctly
  • Your playlists and content are available
  • Your settings were preserved
  • The system is running normally


6. Update the MAWi Players if needed

If the new MAWi version includes updates for MAWi Players or endpoint devices, update them as well to ensure full compatibility with the server version.



Important Notes

Do not uninstall the existing MAWi version before upgrading, unless instructed by Monitors AnyWhere support.

Uninstalling MAWi may remove system files or settings that are required for the upgrade.

Always keep a backup file before performing any upgrade.
