You can update any prior release of EES 2.2 SR1/SP1, EES 2.2, EES 2.1, or EES 2.0 to EES 2.2 SP3 by installing SmartServer 2.2 SP3. Prior EES 2.2, EES 2.1, and EES 2.0 releases were included with SmartServer 2.0 with no service packs, SmartServer 2.0 SP1, SmartServer 2.0 SR2, SmartServer 2.0 SP3, SmartServer 2.0 SP3, SmartServer 2.1, and SmartServer 2.2.
Earlier versions of EES could not be installed on 64-bit versions of Windows. To install EES on 64-bit versions of Windows, install EES 2.2 SP3 without installing any previous version of EES.
SmartServer 2.2 SP3 is available as a free download at www.echelon.com/smartserver. To install the service pack you must have a prior release of the SmartServer 2.2, SmartServer 2.1, or SmartServer 2.0 software already installed on your computer. To upgrade the i.LON 100 e3 Plus or SmartServer 1.0 software, you can purchase a license for the SmartServer 2.2 Software and the software will be provided to you as a software download. The SmartServer 2.2 SP3 software will not run on hardware releases prior to the i.LON 100 e3 Plus due to the smaller memories of the prior hardware releases.
To install EES 2.2 SP3, follow these steps:
1. If you are updating an existing EES 2.0 installation, back up the ReceivedFiles folders stored in your LonWorks iLON\EnterpriseServices\repository\ees‑lnsproxy directory. After you install the EES 2.2 SP3 software update, copy the backed up the ReceivedFiles folders to the LonWorks iLON\EnterpriseServices\repository\ees‑lnsproxy directory.
2. Download the SmartServer 2.2 SP3 fromwww.echelon.com/smartserver, and then double-click the downloaded file in Windows Explorer to extract all the files. Click OK when all the files are extracted. The SmartServer 2.2 SP3 setup application starts automatically.
3. The Echelon SmartServer 2.2 SP3 setup application main menu appears.
4. Click Install Products. The Install Products dialog appears.
5. Click Echelon SmartServer 2.2 SP3 Enterprise Services. The Echelon SmartServer 2.2 SP3 Enterprise Services installer appears.
6. Follow the steps of the installation wizard. If you have an existing installation of EES 2.2, 2.1, or 2.0, the installation will automatically update it to EES 2.2. See Chapter 1 of the Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 User’s Guide for more information on installing the EES 2.2 software.
The SmartServer EES software can now be installed on 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows 10.
The default EES installation path is now under C:\program files (x86)\lonworks on 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows and C:\program files\lonworks on 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. (ILC-2813)
Starting from EES 2.2 (EES 2.0 SP4), a SmartServer LNS Proxy License and EES Activation are no longer required. A license and activation is required for the LNS Server, OpenLNS Server, or IzoT Net Server, but no additional license or activation is required for the SmartServer LNS Proxy. (ILC-2816 & 67957)
Internet Explorer 11 (IE 11) is now supported. EES 2.2 has been tested with Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, & 11; Firefox 9, 10, and 11; Chrome 16, 17, and 18; and iOS 5.1 Safari. (ILWP-3158)
SmartServer is now able to contact and synchronize with the LNS Proxy in EES 2.0 through SSL. (68134, 68625)
EES 2.2 is compatible with 64-bit versions of Windows 8 and Windows 7, in addition to the previously supported 32-bit versions of Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.
View EES 2.2 Web pages using Chrome and Safari in addition to previously supported browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox).
When using LNS network management mode, the LNS Proxy Server is now more tolerant of missing type definitions when importing a device interface (XIF) file. Previously, importing a XIF file failed if any type definitions for types referenced in the XIF file were missing. XIF files with missing types can now be imported. (57147)
The EES AdminServer no longer stores the standard SmartServer firmware files in the template when you create an i.LON template. This significantly reduces the time required to create and deploy i.LON templates. See the EES 2.2 User’s Guide for more information
The EES AdminServer can now be used to create and deploy components to up to 100 SmartServers at a time. A component is any collection of files that you want to deploy to one or more SmartServers from an AdminServer. For example, a component may consist of an FPM app, resource files, XIF files, and custom Web pages that you want to deploy to one or many SmartServers. See the EES 2.2 User’s Guide for more information.
EES Web pages are now available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language versions, in addition to the previous English and German versions. (57186)

This section describes known limitations and problems for this release. Numbers in parentheses at the end of the descriptions are Echelon's internal issue tracking IDs.
You cannot use the EES AdminServer to update a SmartServer to the SmartServer 2.2 SP3 image (Release 4.07.018). You can only use the EES AdminServer to update to the SmartServer 2.0 image (Release 4.03.123). Workaround: To update a SmartServer to the SmartServer 2.2 SP3, manually update the image as described in Manually Upgrading the SmartServer Firmware in Appendix D of the SmartServer User’s Guide. (ILC-2827)
The EES icon that is typically displayed in the Windows notification area will sometimes no longer appear after you install an update to EES. Workaround: If the EES icon does not appear in the notification area after you install an update, either restart your computer or open the Echelon i.LON SmartServer 2. 2 Enterprise Services program folder and then click Echelon i.LON SmartServer 2. 2 Enterprise Services System Tray Tool. (59198)
When using fast data log transfer to send data logs from a SmartServer to a computer running EES, an IzoT Net Server, OpenLNS Server, or LNS Turbo Server must be installed on the computer with EES to extract data from the data logs. The IzoT Net Server, OpenLNS Server, or LNS Server is required even if the SmartServer is running in standalone mode. Workaround: Install an IzoT Net Server, OpenLNS Server, or LNS Server on the same computer with EES if you are using fast data log transfer. The Echelon IzoT Net Server is available from www.echelon.com/openlns. (59348)
After upgrading an earlier version of EES to EES 2.0 SR2, the Echelon EES4 service required by EES may fail to start due to an EES database corruption. Workaround: If an EES upgrade failure is reported, follow these steps:
1. Delete the cmSrvcDb.index.db file in the LonWorks iLON\EnterpriseServices\EchelonES directory.
2. Run services.msc to start the Windows Services snap-in.
3. Right-click the Echelon EES4 service and then click Restart on the shortcut menu. (58376)
Stale EES AdminServer pages are sometimes displayed after the AdminServer is upgraded from an earlier version. Workaround: Clear the browser cache after an EES upgrade. (57576)
If you deploy a SmartServer template created on one computer using a different computer with a different LonWorks directory, the deployment fails. Workaround: Ensure that the LonWorks directory is in the same location on the computers you use to create and deploy templates. (57543)
When you configure a functional block in the LNS tree using a plug-in, an additional tab opens if you are using Firefox. Workaround: Close the extra tab. (53410)
If you change the IP address of the computer running EES, the LNS Proxy Web service is disabled. Workaround: Restart EES using the tray tool. (54447)
If you have customized the SmartServer home page, updating the SmartServer’s firmware to SmartServer 2.0 SR2/SP2 may overwrite your custom SmartServer home page. Workaround: If you have changed the index.htm or index.html file in the root/web directory of a SmartServer that you are upgrading, back up the index.htm and index.html files before upgrading your SmartServer. After you update the SmartServer’s firmware, copy the index.htm and index.html files that you backed up to the root/web directory on the SmartServer flash disk. (59029)
