Hello,  
I have a robot with Rw5.61 I would like migrate to RW 6.01. I follow all the 5 steps, but in step 5 Installation Manager window I can’t add my controller by addind the IP adress, and I only can add a new system in the virtual flange.If I add a new system in this way, only I can create it from an empty system. I can run this system , by creating a station and looks OK.  
I dont kow how to transfer to the real controller, cause I can’t connect it with Installation Manager. If I restore a backup the system restored is with RW 5.61 too.  
I suposse I’m doing something wrong, but i cand find it.

Note. After all steps, In the propieties of the controller the the boot aplication is still 5.61.4009 ( I don’t know if this is right).

Thanks and BR

Hello,

You need to upgrade the boot application to see the controller in Installation Manager. Please re-run Step 4 and ensure that the Boot Application is successfully upgraded.

When you’ve connected to the controller, you can create a new system on the real controller based on your virtual one, or, create a new one from scratch.

Kind regards,
