Upgrading with an Exported Package

Upgrade a client to a new package that includes the same blades as it has now. Add and remove blades after the upgraded package is installed.

To upgrade clients with an exported package:

1. In the Deployment tab, go to Packages for Export.
2. Select a package and click Upgrade Profile.

   A message opens that shows if an update is available.

3. Click Yes to confirm that you want to upgrade the profile.
4. In the Export Package window:
   1. Select the platform versions (32/64 bit) to export for laptops and desktops.
   2. Enter or browse to a destination folder.
5. Click OK.

   The package EPS.msi and/or PreUpgrade.exe files are downloaded to the specified path. A different folder is automatically created for each option selected in step 3a.

6. Send the EPS.msi and PreUpgrade.exe files to endpoint users. Endpoint users manually install the packages. They must use Administrator privileges.

   You can also use third party deployment software, a shared network path, email, or some other method.

Gradual Upgrade

To upgrade more gradually, you can create a new deployment profile and distribute it only to specified computers.

Note - For an exported package, save the new package in a different location than the previous package.

When you are prepared to upgrade all clients, upgrade all deployment profiles.
