Upgrading the Edge Relay Server

The Apex One Edge Relay Server supports upgrading from previous versions of the Edge Relay Server. During the upgrade process, the Setup program automatically applies the same server settings used by the previous version and transfers all certificates.

Important:

This version of the Edge Relay Server does not support older versions of the agent program. If you want to manage off-premises endpoints, ensure that you upgrade all agents to the Apex One Security Agent and connect the Security Agents to the Apex One server to obtain the upgraded Edge Relay Settings.

Before upgrading the Edge Relay Server, ensure that the target server computer meets the minimum system requirements.
