Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Guide
Safeguard for Privileged Passwords Guide
Before you can patch to the latest version of a major release you first must upgrade to the initial major version.
EXAMPLE: Safeguard for Privileged Sessions
If you want to upgrade to 6.8 and are running something earlier than 6.0 you first must upgrade to 6.0.
First upgrade to the latest release of the previous version, either LTS or Feature release. In this example, the latest 5.x version available.
Next, you can upgrade to 6.0. Then proceed to upgrade further to the latest release.
Please see the Admin Guide for more details.
EXAMPLE: Safeguard for Privileged Passwords
The same requirements exist for Privileged Passwords as well. Upgrade to the latest release of the previous version, which in this case would be 2.11.2.
Next, you can upgrade to SPP 6.0 LTS, and then proceed to upgrade to the latest release.
CAUTION: The embedded sessions module was removed in Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 6.0 LTS. Organizations must join to the more robust Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Appliance for sessions recording and playback. Please contact your Account Manager if you are currently using the embedded sessions module to discuss upgrading to 6.0 LTS including implementation of the Safeguard for Privilege Sessions appliance or virtual appliance. More information is available in the Release Notes.
