- When finished please reboot the server and login to the EA web console with an Administrator account and generate an HWD file

Once you have executed the above steps for the upgrade you should be on the most recent version of Enterprise Alert 9.
PLEASE NOTE(!): When you have set up an HA environment please make sure that you have stopped all Enterprise Alert services during the complete upgrade process. This makes sure that no service is blocking any table in the EA SQL database.
Note: With the upgrade to the current latest version, there are 2 new Windows services:
"Enterprise Alert® Connector Host"
"Enterprise Alert® Channel Host"
These are already added to our Start/Stop Batch Files under ...\Enterprise Alert\AdminTools hinzugefügt.
Please let us know when you plan the upgrade so we may provide you with the necessary licenses in a timely manner.
