Use the automated installer to upgrade to Management and Security Server (MSS).
CAUTION:Check this list before you begin upgrading.
Back up system data before upgrading.
Compatibility. Check the versions of the products that use MSS to be sure that connections work as expected.
Host Access for the Cloud version 2.7 is compatible with MSS 12.8.
Reflection for the Web version 13.2 is compatible with MSS 12.8.
Activation files. We recommend installing the latest activation files to ensure that all product features are correctly enabled.
Be sure to remove the activation files associated with previous versions.
Clustering. When upgrading clustered MSS servers, you need to install the upgraded activation files to each clustered node. The activation files are not replicated.
If you used Replication in a previous version, you can use the simplified Clustering workflow in MSS. See Upgrading Replicated Servers.
Manual installation is no longer supported. If your current version was installed using manual installation files -- and you cannot use an automated installer -- contact Support for guidance.
