Server Congo on Cobalt

Hi Yury,

You can install Cobalt version 7.3.1 on a Congo Light Server that has a single network port. In order to run version 8.x, your Light Server would need to have 2 Ethernet ports on the back of the unit (indicating Windows 7 embedded)

If you are asking about a full size Congo console, that hardware only supports going up to Cobalt version 7.3.1

Thank you very much for your answer. Does the update of the cobalt 7.x.x version come with an expansion in its universes? Or should I buy them? we would like to have a back up in our lighting system

I tell you that in our theater we have: Congo sr and Congo server at the time they were the main console of the theater. A long time ago we acquired a Cobalt 20 currently with version 8.2.1.27 with 8 universes running all connected via Ethernet and nodes...thinking about downloading the cobalt version to be able to have Back up of our shows.

The version update does not change the output count of the device.

The Congo Sr console will not be able to update to version 8.2.1. The highest it can update to is 7.3.1.

The Congo Light Server would only be able to update to 8.2.1 if it has 2 Ethernet ports on the back of it and is running Windows 7 Embedded. See: What Version of Windows is my Console Running? - Electronic Theatre Controls Inc for pictures of the differences.

Ok, I tried it and the update turned out very well, thank you very much. my congo server is now cobalt.
Cheers
