We need to update Ranorex licence server from version 5.1 to version 5.3.
What is the proper approach to not break the running tests? I searched on the Ranorex homepage for this issue yet, without finding anything.
Normally, a simple upgrade should work, but wouldn't it be safer to upgrade the license server when no tests are running? The best way in order to upgrade the license server is uninstalling the old version, restart the machine and install the new version. Usually, it also works if you just run the setup file without uninstalling the old version, but I prefer the uninstall - restart - install approach.
