Stop the Inventory Server before minor upgrade

On the computer hosting the Alloy Discovery 8 Inventory Server, stop the Inventory Server using the Inventory Server Manager:

Run the Inventory Server Manager from the Alloy Control Panel (Start > Alloy Software > Alloy Control Panel and click the Inventory Server icon).
Enter the name or IP address of the SQL server that hosts your Alloy Discovery 8 database, provide Alloy Discovery 8 administrative credentials, and choose the database name.
Click Stop.
Click OK to exit the Inventory Server Manager.

If you have several Inventory Server instances for your Alloy Discovery 8 database, you must stop every instance.
