7 About Upgrading PGP Universal Server
Upgrading Your PGP Universal Server 3.2.0
PUP Update, where you download and install a PGP Update Package (PUP) file
from your PGP Universal Server's administrative interface. This method
automatically preserves your data and system settings. For more information on
performing a PUP update, see the PGP Universal Server Administrator's Guide.
Not all upgrades are available as PUP update files. Some upgrades require a migration
where you must back up your system, install the new version of the software, and
restore your backup. For example, to upgrade from PGP Universal Server 2.X to 3.2,
you must migrate to 3.0.2 SP2 or 3.12 SP2 and then install the 3.2 PUP file for PGP
Universal Server 3.2.
After the software is installed and the Setup Assistant has started, depending on how
you want to restore your data, there are several paths you can take through the setup.
Note: The licensing mechanism for the PGP Universal Server and the managed PGP
Desktop has changed as of PGP Universal Server version 3.2. However, these changes
have minimal effects on the upgrade process, because your existing PGP Universal
Server and PGP Desktop licenses are still valid after you upgrade. If you perform a
migration, your previous licenses are restored, and the features that were previously
enabled are still enabled.
The following applies to PGP Universal Servers that are running as stand-alone
systems or clusters:
Before you upgrade to PGP Universal Server 3.2, you must back up your data and
your organization key to an external location.
You can upgrade to PGP Universal Server 3.2 from these versions:
PGP Universal Server 2.12 SP4
To upgrade from 2.12 SP4, you must back up your data, do a fresh install of
3.0.2 SP2 or 3.1.2 SP2, and restore your backed up data. Then you can do a PUP
update to update to version 3.2.
If you are running a version of PGP Universal Server older than 2.12 SP4, you
must upgrade to version 2.12 SP4.
PGP Universal Server 3.X
To upgrade from PGP Universal Server 3.x, you can do a PUP update to update
to version 3.2.
When you install the software, the data on your system is deleted. You need the backed
up data file and the Organization Key to encrypt and decrypt the backup file. For more
information on installing the software from a DVD, see the PGP Universal Server
Installation Guide.
Caution: To upload and restore backups of 2GB or larger through the PGP Universal
Server Web interface, you need to contact Technical Support.
