Upgrading Sophos Endpoint Security and Control

ramero

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but do I need to uninstall the existing Sophos Endpoint Security and Control [Anti-Virus 7.6.20 & Client Firewall 1.5.8] on Standalone PCs before installing the latest versions [i.e. Anti-Virus 9.5 & Client Firewall 2.5] or can I just install the new version on top of your current version?

Any advise would be appreciated and apologies if this has already been covered and I've missed it.

Thanks

    Hello Christian & Jak,

    First of all, my thanks to both of you for responding.

    I didn't pursue the opportunity to try out an over the top upgrade from Anti-Virus 7.6.20 & Client Firewall 1.5.8 to the latest version of Endpoint Security and Control.

    I'd been away for a few days and on return picked up Jak's posting which appealed to me because my setup is:

    [1] purely Standalone, not networked & without the benefit of having Enterprise Console installed on a Windows Server AND

    [2] whilst AutoUpdate is linked to the Sophos address it doesn't appear to accommodate version UPGRADES in Standalone situations

    The bottom line was that Jak's approach was "The Bee's Knees" & worked a treat.

    I applied the "TopLevelCatalogue.dat" changes to both the Standalone Win7 & WinXP machines and both faultlessly upgraded to the latest Endpoint Security and Control version [Anti-Virus 9.5 & Client Firewall 2.5].

    Many thanks again for all your help it was much appreciated.
