All saved configuration files and embedded database (if you use embedded database) will be automatically converted to be used by the Server of the 12.0 version. Without automatic conversion, database (if you use embedded database) and some of the Server configuration files from the previous version cannot be used. In case of manual backup, place the files to the same directories where they were located in the previous version. For all backup files from the previous Server version (see step 4) you must set the user selected at the installation of the new Server version ( by default), as files owner. 5.Launch the Server. 6.Set up repository upgrade and perform the upgrade. After upgrade of anti-virus network Servers is completed, you must configure encryption and compression settings for the connected Servers (see the , the section). Upgrading Dr.Web Agents on Stations under Windows OS Upgrade of the Agents Supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 11 and 10 Upgrade of the Agents supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 11 and 10 is performed automatically. After the automatic upgrade, the popup notification with restart request is displayed on a station; in the Control Center, restart request after the upgrade is displayed in the station status. Restart a station locally or remotely via the Control Center to complete the upgrade. If the station was connected to the Server via the Dr.Web Proxy server of version 11 and earlier, you must upgrade the Proxy server up to the version 12 before upgrading the Agent. Otherwise, the Agents supplied within version 12.0 will not be able to connect to the Server of version 12.0. Automatic Upgrade of the Agents Supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 6 To perform automatic upgrade, the following conditions must be met: 1.Agents must be installed on a computers under Windows OS which are supported for the installation of Agents for Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite version 12.0 (see the document, ). 2.For the automatic upgrade, the following actions are possible depending on the Server settings: a)Automatic upgrade is performed, if during the Server upgrade, encryption keys and network settings from the previous Server were saved, is performed by the following procedure: 1.The old version of the Agent is uninstalled when upgrade is started. 2.The station is rebooted manually. 3.The new version of the Agent is installed. For this, the task in the Server schedule is automatically created. 4.After the Agent upgrade is completed, the station automatically connects to the Server. In the section of the Control Center, the notification on required restart will be displayed for the upgraded station. The station must be restarted. b)The manual configuration required during the automatic upgrade, if during the Server upgrade, new encryption keys and Server network settings were specified, is performed by the following procedure: 1.Configure settings for connection to the new Server and replace public encryption key on station manually. 2.After changing of the settings on the station and connecting the stations to the Server, the Agent upgrade process starts. 3.The old version of the Agent is uninstalled when upgrade is started. 4.The station is rebooted manually. 5.The new version of the Agent is installed. For this, the task in the Server schedule is automatically created. 6.After the Agent upgrade is completed, the station automatically connects to the Server. In the section of the Control Center, the notification on required restart will be displayed for the upgraded station. The station must be restarted. Please note the following features during automatic upgrade: 1.After removing the Agent, notification on reboot required is not displayed on a station. Administrator must initiate the station reboot. 2.Between the removal of an old Agent version and installing of a new version, stations will have no anti-virus protection. 3.After upgrading of the Agent, the anti-virus software operation will be limited without the station restart. At this, the complete anti-virus protection of the station is not provided. User must restart the station on the Agent demand. Manual Upgrade of the Agents Supplied with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite 6 If installation of the new version of the Agent during automatic upgrade failed for any reason, the next installation attempts are not performed. No anti-virus software will be installed on the station, and such station will be displayed as offline in the Control Center. In such case, you must install the Agent by yourself. At this, after the new Agent installation, you must merge the new station and the old station in the Control Center, in the hierarchical tree of the anti-virus network. Upgrade is not Supported If Agents are installed on stations under OS which are not supported for the installation of Agents for Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite version 12.0, actions to upgrade are not performed. Agents installed on unsupported OS cannot receive updates (including virus bases updates) from the new Server. If you need to remain Agents under unsupported OS, you must leave the Server of previous version to which these Agents are connected as a part of the anti-virus network. At this, Servers of 6 versions and Servers of the 12.0 version must receive updates independently.
