deviceWISE IoT Gateway 25.02 Release Notes
A number of improvements and fixes were added to the IoT Gateway 25.02 release.
Summary:
The 25.02 release includes improvements made to the Workbench, deviceWISE View, Transaction Server and multiple drivers.
Production Release Date: July 2025
As of Release 24.01 the Technical Support License (TSL) is required to enable updates to new version. The absence of a TSL will prevent the update of installed software. If you do not have a current Technical Support License do not attempt to update your version of deviceWISE.
To ensure you are receiving genuine Telit Cinterion services and updates, all deviceWISE software as of Release 24.01 requires a Technical Support License (TSL) to be installed. The TSL acts as a reminder of the status of your Support subscription. At select periods prior to the expiration of the subscription, a notification on your deviceWISE Workbench will provide a clear visual notification. If you are missing a license or if the license is expired/expiring there will be a visual notice.

Upgrading from previous versions
Backup before upgrading! You should do a Backing up and Restoring a node's configuration of your configuration from the Workbench prior to upgrading to a new version of deviceWISE.
Updating from an earlier release level of an Enterprise Gateway to 25.02
Customers updating from 21.05 or earlier release, will need to update both the deviceWISE runtime and the package files to the 25.02 build level before starting their deviceWISE application.
For Windows Enterprise Gateway products:
Upgrading a Windows Enterprise Gateway product from a version before 19.1.6 to 25.02
We moved to a new installation architecture for Windows Asset Gateway and Enterprise Gateway products with version 19.1.6. These Special Notes apply to a one-time transition from a Windows Gateway version before 19.1.6 to a Windows Gateway version after 19.1.6.
If you are upgrading a Gateway for Windows product to version 19.1.6 or later, you must do the following:
- Perform a node backup of deviceWISE
- Backup all files used in the Staging Browser folders or properties files that were added outside of the original deviceWISE installation. (For example: C:\deviceWISE\Runtime\staging and C:\deviceWISE\Runtime\dwcore)
- Uninstall the (pre-19.1.6) version of the Enterprise Gateway for Windows product
- Install deviceWISE Enterprise Gateway for Windows or deviceWISE Asset Gateway for Windows using the given installers.
- Copy the files backed up from step #2 contained in the Staging Browser folders or properties files to the new installation folder. (For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\deviceWISE\Gateway\staging and C:\Program Files (x86)\deviceWISE\Gateway\dwcore)
- Restart deviceWISE.
- After updating to 25.02, you will need to add all device drivers and extensions from the new 25.02 release level.
- Restore your node.
Upgrading a Windows Enterprise Gateway product from 19.1.6 or later to 25.02
A firmware update from a release for Enterprise Gateway for Windows before version 19.1.6 to 25.02 is not supported. You must do a complete product installation as noted in the previous section.
If you are updating an Enterprise Gateway for Windows 64-bit products from the 19.1.6 release or later, then you can use the firmware update option.
After updating to 25.02, you will need to add all device drivers and extensions from the new 25.02 release level.
After updating the runtime and the package files, you may restore your node from a backup if you did a node backup before installing the new version of runtime and packages.
For AIX, Linux, or WinCPU Enterprise Gateway products:
If you are updating an Enterprise Gateway from a 17.2.3 through 25.02 (inclusive) release, then you can use the firmware update option. A firmware update from a release before 17.2.3 is not supported.
If you are updating an Enterprise Gateway from a 17.1.14 or earlier release to 25.02, you must do a complete product installation. This is required to install the supporting libraries and 3rd party support files. These supporting files are not included in a firmware update for an Enterprise Gateway, however they are included in a complete install.
After updating to 25.02, you will need to add all device drivers and extensions from the new 25.02 release level.
After updating the runtime and the package files, you may restore your node from a backup if you did a node backup before installing the new version of runtime and packages.
A firmware update from 16.1.8 or earlier to 25.02 is not supported for CentOS 7 or systemd installations. A full installation is required.
20.1.9 is the final release for VxWorks-based gateways and got removed from builds beginning with the 20.1.10 release. If you need assistance, please contact us here.
