FileFly 2.0 was released on 7 February 2017. See FileFly 2 Release Notes.

FileFly 2 includes support for DFS-R and ReFS, along with a change to the demigration behavior. There are many improvements and some bug fixes, so Caringo is requiring this upgrade.

Until you upgrade, you will see an expiration warning:

Important

New migrations will fail if they are performed after the software expiration date.

Upgrading FileFly

  1. Log into Caringo Connect (connect.caringo.com).
  2. On the FileFly page, download the new version of the software.

  4. Once extracted, double-click the "FileFly Tools.exe" file and follow the on-screen prompts to upgrade the admin server. 
  5. Once that is done, open the FileFly Admin Tools web portal.
  6. Go to the servers tab to push upgrades to the other servers.
