Upgrade procedures

There are different ways to upgrade your ESET PROTECT Server and other ESET PROTECT components. See also migration and reinstallation procedures.


warning

Make sure that you have a supported operating system before upgrading to ESET PROTECT 10.0.

We recommend that you back up the ESET PROTECT database before upgrading.

If you have an earlier unsupported database installed (MySQL 5.5 or Microsoft SQL 2008/2012), upgrade your database to a compatible database version before upgrading the ESET PROTECT Server.
