Problem Description

This article lists down the products you can directly upgrade to WFBS 6.0 as well as the upgrade paths you can take if the installed product cannot be upgraded to WFBS 6.0.

Solution

WFBS 6.0 (without Service Pack) supports upgrades from any of the following versions: 

 

Client Server Security (CS) or Client Server Messaging Security (CSM) 3.6

 

 

WFBS Standard/Advanced 5.0

 

 

WFBS Standard/Advanced 5.1

 

 

 

 

Customers are recommended to use the latest version (as of this writing - WFBS 6.0 Service Pack 3), which is available in the Download Center. WFBS 6.0 Service Pack 3 can be used to fully install or upgrade the following products:

 

 

WFBS Standard/Advanced 6.0 SP2

 

 

WFBS Standard/Advanced 6.0 SP1

 

 

WFBS Standard/Advanced 6.0

 

 

WFBS Standard/Advanced 5.1

 

 

WFBS Standard/Advanced 5.0

 

 

For versions newer than WFBS 6.0 Service Pack 3 and the products that they can directly upgrade, please check the Download Center.

 

 

WFBS 6.0 does not support direct upgrade of the following:

For older versions (CSM 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5), you can first uninstall the old version from the Server and the clients, and then install the latest version of WFBS (6.0 Service Pack 3). If uninstallation and reinstallation is not possible, below are the possible upgrade paths that you can take:

 

CSM 2.0

 

 

 

o

CSM-SMB 2.0 > CSM-SMB 3.0 > CSM-SMB 3.5 > WFBS Advanced 5.0 / 5.1 > WFBS Advanced 6.0
