Upgrade Destiny

The process to upgrade from your current version of Destiny® to a newer version is explained below. It applies to all installations of Follett Destiny® Library Manager, Follett Destiny® Textbook Manager, Follett Destiny® Resource Manager and Follett Destiny® Media Manager

Note: In Destiny version 12.5 and higher, Destiny Resource Manager replaces Destiny Asset Manager. If you are an Asset Manager customer, then you are granted new licenses for Resource Manager.

Important: To find the version of Destiny you are currently running, click the copyright information that is in the footer of most Destiny pages. The About Destiny information shows the current version of Destiny. To upgrade to Destiny v19.1, see Before You Begin .

Before You Begin

Important: Follett recommends HTTPS configuration of your Destiny server to ensure security of your Destiny data. If you have any questions regarding HTTPS configuration, contact Technical Support at 888.511.5114.

Please make sure SQL Server is updated with the most recent Server Packs.
