If you have Live Maps installed and are planning an upgrade to the OpsMgr R2 please read this article carefully.

The Live Maps v2 and v3 OpsMgr console extensions are not compatible with the OpsMgr R2 console. If you upgrade the OpsMgr console without upgrading the Live Maps console extension the OpsMgr R2 console will throw an 'Could not load type' error.

Here are the steps to successfully upgrade your environment to R2:

Upgrade your backend:

1. Download the Live Maps v4 for OpsMgr R2 here
2. Obtain a Live Maps v4 license key (free edition users can request it here, customers can request an updated key via sales@savision.com)
3. After you have upgraded your RMS to R2 upgrade the Live Maps authoring console and web console to v4.
4. Start the Live Maps authoring console and enter the new license key.

On every computer running the OpsMgr operations console:

1. Uninstall the Live Maps OpsMgr extension
2. Upgrade the OpsMgr console to R2
3. Install the Live Maps v4 OpsMgr R2 extension
