Update existing LENA Hub software

The process for updating to the current version varies depending on what version you are running.

The time required to download the installer will vary according to your internet speed and may take 30 minutes or longer on slower connections. The time required to run the installer is typically 15 minutes or less.

If your current Hub screen looks like this but is older than the current version...

The newer version of LENA Hub is completely restructured, so it's best to remove the old version rather than leaving both installed.

Contact LENA Support for assistance (see sidebar), or follow the steps below.

You may need to enlist your IT support for the uninstall/install steps.

1. Ensure that no files are still in progress or in failed status.

2. Check your settings.

This step determines what custom settings you'll need to put in place on the new software.

Use File Explorer to find C:\Program Files (x86)\LENA\Hub.  

Delete the \Hub folder.
