To install an update to the 1C platform 8.3 or 8.2, you must first decide in which mode the work is taking place - file or client-server:

• In file mode, it is enough to update client computers with 1C with one distribution;
• In the client-server version, you will need to install different distributions on the server and client machines.

The process of updating the 1C platform itself is no different from a regular installation - you don’t even have to go into the database configurator. Let's look at where to get the installation files and how to install each option yourself.

When purchasing a licensed copy of a product on the 1C:Enterprise platform, the box includes a disk with program distribution kits, but most likely this disk will already contain a previous version of the platform. Because Updates to the 1C 8.3 platform have been released quite often lately, but manufacturers do not have time to record new versions in a timely manner and distribute them to sellers, and even after the release of a new version, these kits lose their relevance.

When purchasing standard products, the kit includes registration data for access to the portal https://users.v8.1c.ru/ for a period of six months, after which it is possible to conclude an agreement to extend the relevant services.

On the support site you need to find the required version of your platform:

Updating 1C client

If installed in a file version, the 1C platform must be installed on all local computers from which you want to work in the program. Let's consider updating the 1C:Enterprise system in the Microsoft Windows environment.

After receiving the distribution package, you need to run the installer program setup.exe from the platform installation folder.

The next window asks you to select the interface language; most likely you are interested in “Russian”

In the next window you need to confirm the start of installation with the “Install” button

You need to wait a bit for the installation to complete. If your license requires operation via a USB hardware dongle, you must also install the security driver. If you have software keys (PIN codes in an envelope), you will need to enter them when you first start

After completing all installations, click “Finish”; if you want to additionally familiarize yourself with a brief description of the current version, check the “Open Readme file” flag.

1C update on the server

In the case of an update in the client-server version, it is similarly necessary to install a local instance of the platform on all computers from which access to the database is required, and it is also necessary to install the server part of the program on the application server. Also, to work in this mode, you need an installed and running DBMS supported by the 1C platform, such as:

• Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle Database
• PostgreSQL
• IBM DB2

As a rule, there is no need to update the DBMS itself.

Updating the 1C platform on a server is similar to installing a local instance on workstations, however, in the component selection list you must allow the installation of “1C:Enterprise Server” and “1C:Enterprise Server Administration”

Also, after selecting the interface language, you must indicate in what form the server part of the 1C platform will be installed: as a separate application, or as a MS Windows service. It is recommended to install the system as a service; to do this, you additionally need to specify the user on whose behalf this service will be launched. Or it is possible to create a separate user to run the 1C server part.

After successful installation, you will also need to install the application solution, create and connect infobases and activate licenses.

1C company constantly releases new releases of its configurations: adding new features, updating reporting forms.

Therefore, the configurations of your infobases also need to be constantly updated. The 1C program itself even reminds you of this and offers to update. You can update 1C 8.3 yourself in two ways: through the configurator or via the Internet. Let's look at the step-by-step instructions for updating 1c and what needs to be done after this procedure using an example.

Updating the 1C 8 program via the Internet

To update 1C 8.3 over the Internet, go to the “Administration” menu and find the “Updating the program version” section:

First, let’s go to the “Setting up program updates via the Internet” section:

In this window, the most important thing is to enter the user code and password; without them, you will not be able to connect to the site with updates. You should have received them along with . If for some reason you don’t have them, there is a link nearby that will take you to your personal account on the support site, and all the data will be there.

Here you can disable automatic checking for updates, set up a scheduled check or every time you log into the program.

Leave the switch on “Automatic update” and click “Next”. If a newer program release than the current one is found, the corresponding information will appear.

A newer version was found for my configuration, and now I’ll try to update 1C. Pay attention to the size of the update, as it is downloaded and unpacked into the user's directory, which is located on the "C:" drive. Accordingly, there should be enough free space on it. By the way, here you can read what changes and innovations are in the update. Click “Next”.

Oddly enough, the program was unable to connect to its server the first time due to the fact that it used my old code and password, although I specified everything correctly in the settings:

I click “OK”, enter the correct data and click “Next”. I hope you don't see such a window.

The program will start receiving the update file. Depending on your internet speed, this can be a fairly lengthy process. Took me a few minutes. In the next window we have to choose whether to update immediately or after finishing work. If you decide to update immediately, make sure that no one else is in the database. The update occurs in exclusive mode.

Here you will be prompted to make a backup copy before updating. I advice NECESSARILY make a backup copy of the 1C database, I was convinced from my own experience. Moreover, I recommend selecting the last item “Create a backup copy and save to a directory.” In this case, if something goes wrong during the update, the program itself will return everything to its place.

The update went smoothly for me and took about 45 minutes.

Important note! After installing the configuration update, the program may require you to update the 1C platform. You can read how to do this in or see in our video:

Self-updating 1C 8.3 via the configurator

To update via the configurator, you first need to download the 1C update file from the official website or from the ITS disk. I described how to do this in the article ““. Only the row in the table, of course, you need to select another (1C Accounting):

One point should be noted here. Not all latest releases may be suitable for your current configuration. Therefore, if you have not updated for a long time, you may have to download several versions. In the list of releases you can see which one fits which.

In my case, the latest release of 1C is suitable, and I downloaded it. Unlike the platform update file, configuration updates are located in archives. It is also advisable to place it in a clean directory and run it. After it is unpacked, run the setup.exe file:

The update will be installed in the specified directory. Typically this is the default directory, but you can specify a different one.

Now let's go to the configurator:

Naturally, you need to log in as a user with administrative rights.

Let's make a backup copy right away!

Now you need to go to the menu “Configuration – Support – Configuration Update”. A window will appear:

If one or more 1C 8.3 configuration updates are found, a window will appear asking you to select the one you need:

If several available updates are found, the program will highlight the latest one in bold.

Click “Finish”. Two more information windows will appear, there you just need to click “Continue”.

The 1C update process will begin. After a while, a configuration comparison window may appear. If you are not an expert, then it is better not to touch anything there. Click “Run”:

After some time, the message “Configuration merging complete” will appear. Click "OK".

Now you also need to update the configuration of the infobase. To do this, go to the menu “Configuration – Update database configuration”.

If the system asks you for something else, you need to click “Yes” or “Accept”.

When finished, you can close the configurator. When you first launch the program in normal mode, you may receive a message that the platform you are using is outdated for this configuration and working in the system is not recommended.

This update is complete.

Updating the 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 program via the Internet

Update of the program 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0through the Internet.

The materials of the article are current as of December 5, 2014.

Reproduction of the article is permitted with the author indicated and a link to the source.

1C programs require constant updating. This is especially true for accounting programs, in particular the 1C: Accounting 8 program. The main reasons are the constantly changing legislation on accounting and tax accounting, the development of program capabilities and the correction of identified errors. For example, updates to the 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 program are released almost every month, and sometimes several program updates are released within a month.

This article describes the procedure for updating the 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 program via the Internet in user mode.

Updating the 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 program consists of 2 stages:

Platform update 1C:Enterprise 8.3

For the 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 configuration to work correctly, it is necessary to install platform 8.3 designed for this configuration.

For example, for the configuration of 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0. 37 You need to have the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform installed, no lower than 8.3.5. 1231 . On a lower release of the platform, configuration 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0. 37 will not even open, about which a message will be displayed when starting the program.

Therefore, before updating, let’s check the installed release of the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform.

This can be done by opening the Help menu - About the program or through the corresponding “show information about the program” icon (yellow circle with the letter i), located in the system commands area in the upper right corner (Fig. 1).

In the window that appears, we see that the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform release 8.3.5.1231 and the 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 platform release 3.0.37.25 are installed (Fig. 2).

It will not be possible to update the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform directly from the 1C program, either in user mode or through the configurator, so you must first download it from the technical support site for 1C:Enterprise 8 programs and install it on your computer.

To download the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform, go to the technical support site for 1C:Predariyatie programs www.users.v8.1c.ru, follow the “download update” hyperlink, enter the login and password received when registering the program (if the program has not yet been registered, then go through the registration procedure), in the summary table we find “Technology platform 8.3” and select the latest version of the 1C: Enterprise platform 8.3 ( in this case 8.3.5.1248).

From the presented list of possible options for platforms 1C: Enterprise 8.3 version 8.3.5.1248, select “Technological platform 1C: Enterprise for Windows (Fig. 3).

If you have downloaded and installed the required version of the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform, but when you launch the program in the “About the program” window you still see the old platform, then most likely you downloaded the wrong version of the platform.

The 1C:Enterprise 8.3 technology platform is supplied as a windows.rar archive file, so after downloading this file you need to unpack it.

After unpacking, you need to find the file (setup.exe) and run it.

After preparing for installation by Windows Installer, the installation window for the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform will appear. Click the “Next” button (Fig. 4).

In the next window, we are asked to select the components of the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform to be installed and the path where the platform will be installed.

In most cases, we leave everything as is and click “Next” (Fig. 5).

In the next window, click the “Install” button to begin installing the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform.

The installation process of the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform may take several minutes, and the “User Account Control” window may appear in which you must confirm your desire to install this program on your computer (Fig. 6)

After which the installation process of the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform will begin, at the end of which you will be asked to install the 1C:Enterprise 8 program security driver.

This checkbox can be unchecked, because if you are using hardware protection of the 1C program (USB key), then this driver was already installed during the initial installation, but if you are using software protection (linked to the computer when installing the 1C program) , then this driver is not needed at all (Fig. 7). Click the “Next” button.

(if you do not uncheck this box, then nothing bad will happen, it will just install (reinstall) the 1C program protection driver)

In the last window, click the “Finish” button and the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform is installed on your computer.

A week after installing the new 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform (after making sure that the program is working normally), previous versions of 1C:Enterprise 8.3 can be removed through the Control Panel (to save space on the computer’s hard drive).

Please note that if you are still using configurations that work on the 8.2 platform (for example, 1C: Accounting edition 2.0, 1C: Salary and Personnel Management edition 2.5, 1C: Trade Management edition 10.3, etc.), then the latest version of the platform is 8.2 cannot be deleted. You must have 2 platforms installed (8.2 and 8.3), which will be selected automatically when you launch the corresponding configuration.

Run configurations 1C:Accounting 8 edition 2.0, 1C:Salaries and Personnel Management edition 2.5, 1C:Trade Management edition 10.3 on platform 8. 3 , is not recommended, since this configuration is not tested by developers on the 8.3 platform and may not work correctly.

Video lesson "Updating the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform:

Updating the configuration of 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 via the Internet

After updating the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform, you can proceed to updating the 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 configuration.

We launch the working database in user mode.

If the program 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 is set to automatically check for updates when starting the program, then in the lower left corner we will see a pop-up hint about the availability of a configuration update (Fig. 8)

If we click on this tooltip, we will immediately be taken to the Search and install updates processing (Fig. 13).

To configure automatic checking for updates to 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 when starting the program, go to the Administration - Support and Maintenance menu (Fig. 9)

Here, in the “Program version update” group, select “Setting up program updates via the Internet (Fig. 10).

In the window that appears, select Automatic check for updates “When the program starts”, enter the User Code and Password, which we use to log into 1C technical support on the website www.users.v8 and click OK (Fig. 11).

We return to “Support and Maintenance” (Fig. 10).

To install the 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 update, select “Search and install updates” in the “Program version update” group.

A window for choosing how to install the update appears. If the update files for 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 are already installed on the computer, then you can select “Local or network directory” as the source and specify the directory in which the update files are located.

If these files are not yet installed on your computer, then select “Automatic search for updates on the Internet (recommended)” and click the “Next” button (Fig. 12).

The Search and install updates window appears, which shows which version of the 1C:Accounting 8 edition 3.0 configuration is available to us (in this case it is version 3.0.37.29), the size of the update file (67.5 MB) and using the “New in version” hyperlink we can see what's new in this version. Click the “Next” button (Fig. 13).

After this, the 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0.37.29 update files are received via the Internet. If several updates were skipped that require mandatory sequential installation, then several update files will be received. Information about the number of required and downloaded update files will be displayed in the “Update files are being received” field. (Fig. 14)

The process of obtaining update files for 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 may take a long time (from several minutes to several hours, depending on the performance of your computer and the speed of your Internet)

To install updates, the 1C program will ask for a username and password to enter the information database (not to be confused with the username and password for receiving updates via the Internet). You must select a user and specify a password (if one is set), which you specify when logging into the program. This user must have Administrator rights (Fig. 15).

After this, a window will appear in which you can choose how to install the 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 update. You can install the update right now or when you close the program.

If there are other users in the database at the moment, you must ask them to leave this database. This is necessary to create a database backup. Using the hyperlink “View list of active users” you can see which users are currently in this database (Fig. 16).

You can also choose the option of creating a 1C backup. In this case, if an emergency occurs during the update process of 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0, the program will automatically roll back to the previous version while saving all data.

I recommend creating backup copies before starting the update by simply copying the folder in which your database is stored through Explorer. But if you make backups using standard 1C program tools, then it is better to first create a “Backups” folder on your computer and specify the path to this folder (Fig. 17)

The process of updating the configuration of 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 is divided into several stages:

Shutting down users

Creating a backup copy of the infobase

Updating the infobase configuration

Allowing new connections

Completion

Information about the progress of the update process can be seen on the splash screen of the 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0 program.

After updating the configuration of 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0, the program will start in user mode and the update will continue. The progress of the further update process can be seen on the indicator (Fig. 19).

And at the end you will see the information “What’s new in this version”. In which, by following the link to the ITS website, you can read and see an illustrated version of the changes in this version of 1C: Accounting 8 edition 3.0.

To do this, go to the Administration - Support and Maintenance menu and find in the “Program version update” group, select “Update results and additional data processing” (Fig. 20)

All additional data processing procedures must be completed successfully (Fig. 21). Using the hyperlink you can see which procedures were completed successfully and if any procedure was not completed, you will see it. In this case, you need to contact a specialist to fix this problem.

This completes the update of the 1C: Accounting 8.3 edition 3.0 program, you can start working in the program.

I wish you success,

The procedure for updating the 1C database requires certain knowledge and skills in handling a computer, so it is often difficult for the user. Therefore, if possible, it is best.

You can obtain the files necessary for the update in several ways:
— firstly, the latest updates are available on the website users.v8.1c.ru, which you get access to when concluding an agreement for ITS (information technology support);
- secondly, you can update 1C via the Internet, for this you need to have registration data (login and password).

This article describes how to update the configuration when downloading update files, but you can use this article to update the program via the Internet. To do this, you need to skip step 2, and when completing step 4, check box 9 and uncheck box 8, and then enter your login and password.

ATTENTION! If your configuration was modified by 1C programmers, it is not recommended to update it yourself, because this can lead to errors and even data loss.

This article provides instructions for updating 1C:Enterprise 8.3 configurations. So, let's start in order.

1. First of all, create a copy of your database. you can read about . If you have a backup, if something goes wrong, you can always return to the starting point and either start the process again, or use the services of a 1C programmer.

2. Now let's proceed directly to the update. Open the directory with the update, run the setup.exe file and install the update in the default directory.

3. Launch the configurator (steps 1 and 2 in the figure). Select a user with administrative rights (action 3 in the figure).

In the Configurator window go to the menu Configuration → Support → Update configuration(action 4 in the figure).

If step 4 is not available, you must first open the configuration (step 5) and then repeat step 4.

In the window that opens, select “Search for available updates (recommended)” and click the “Next” button (steps 6, 7).

4. In the window that opens for selecting the type of update source, you must select the checkboxes as in the figure (steps 8 and 9). Click the “Next” button (step 10).

If you update the program via the Internet, then you need to uncheck box 8 and check box 9.

5. After a short pause, a window of available updates opens. Select the configuration version number and click the “Finish” button (steps 11 and 12 in the figure).

6. Next, the program will ask you questions to which you need to answer “Yes,” “Accept,” and “Continue.” When updating the database configuration, a window will appear to accept the changes. You must click the “Accept” button (step 13).

7. After this, all that remains is to start regulated data processing in user mode. To do this, close the configurator and launch the program in “Enterprise” mode (i.e., as usual). The program must be run under a user with administrative rights.

8. When you start the program, you will be asked a question about the legality of the update received, to which we answer by performing steps 14 and 15 as in the figure.

9. If the screen shows information about configuration changes, your configuration has been updated.

Congratulations, you have updated your 1C program!

If you can’t update the 1C database yourself for some reason, then you can leave it and our specialist will do the job!
