# Version Update

## Pre-Update Steps

#### SQL Server VM

Take a backup of Cloud Assert VConnect database, Billing and Cost management database (for Multi Stamp Management).

## Update Steps

#### Resource Provider VM

1. Sign in to VConnect Resource Provider Virtual Machine
2. Unblock the VConnect Resource Provider update package .zip file and extract the contents to a temporary directory using any extractor tool 
3. Open a new elevated (administrative) PowerShell console and change to the directory where the files have been extracted. Use a new window to avoid problems that might arise from incorrect PowerShell modules that are already loaded on the system. 
4. Run UpdateBuild.ps1 with required parameters

```
> .\UpdateBuild.ps1 -ConfigureBillingAndDacm $true  
```

| Parameter Name                                                          | Description                                                                                                                                                               | Required   |
