Installation Notes
You must be running PowerSchool 8.0.x or greater in order to upgrade to PowerSchool 9.1.1.2. See the installation note below for
information on required State Reporting installers.
The installer setup files for this release are available for download from PowerSource.
Important Note: If you are upgrading from PowerSchool 9.0 or PowerSchool 9.1 to PowerSchool 9.1.1.2, you will not be able to
upgrade to PowerSchool 9.2. However, you can upgrade to PowerSchool 9.2.1.
Installation Notes
implementation remains safe and secure. If you have already updated to Java 8u71, no further action is needed when upgrading to
PowerSchool 9.1.1.2.
The database must be in an idle state for the install to successfully apply. Shut down PowerSchool services and ensure that
no other connections are allowed to the database during installation.
IF YOU ARE PERFORMING AN UPGRADE FROM A PREVIOUS FEATURE RELEASE - (for example, from 8.x) the time to
complete the upgrade can be substantial, depending on the version you are upgrading from, and the size of your database.
PowerSchool recommends you schedule your upgrade during a time that will have the least impact to PowerSchool users.
Upgrade Paths
If you are upgrading from PowerSchool 9.x you will need:
Database Scripts Updater 12.1.0.2 Note: This includes the latest Oracle security fixes.
PowerSchool Database 12.1.0.2 for use with PowerSchool 9.1.1.2 Installer (PowerSource > Downloads > PowerSchool
Database > PowerSchool Database 12.1.0.2)
PowerSchool Database 12.1.0.2 Installer for use with PowerSchool 9.1.1.2 (PowerSource > Downloads > PowerSchool
Database > PowerSchool Database 12.1.0.2)
Installation Notes
Note: PowerSchool 9.1.1.2 does not support upgrading from PowerSchool 7.x. If your district is using PowerSchool 7.x, you must
upgrade to PowerSchool 8.x before upgrading to PowerSchool 9.1.1.2. For more information, see the Installation Guide for
PowerSchool 9.x available on PowerSource.
Note: If Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) is enabled on your system, an update to the latest SIF adapter is required. Consult

General Recommendation
PowerSchool strongly recommends that you check to make sure Transport Layer Security (TLS)/Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is
enabled on your PowerSchool server to ensure all data passed between your server and end users/PowerSchool Technical Support
remains secure and private. If TLS/SSL is not enabled, data moving between your server and end users is unencrypted. For more
information on implementing TLS/SSL, see Knowledgebase article 8476 available on PowerSource.
