Upgrade a
CylanceHYBRID
version 1.x to version 2.x

You cannot upgrade in place an installation of
CylanceHYBRID
version 1.x to a
CylanceHYBRID
version 2.x; architectural changes in the application prevent this type of upgrade.
Instead, you will need to install
CylanceHYBRID
version 2.x on a new server. For more information, see Installing the CylanceHYBRID application.
You can perform this upgrade with or without migrating the settings from the previous server to the new server. Regardless of the method chosen:
  • The new instance of
    CylanceHYBRID
    2.x must have the same hostname as the original
    CylanceHYBRID
    1.x server.
  • On each managed device, you must add the certificate for the
    CylanceHYBRID
    2.x instance to the keystore so that the agent will trust the CA that issues the certificate.
  1. Do one of the following:
    Task
    Steps
    Install a new instance of
    CylanceHYBRID
    and migrate the settings from a previous instance.
    You can migrate a configuration from an instance of
    CylanceHYBRID
    version 1.4.15 and later to a new instance of
    CylanceHYBRID
    version 2.x without having to re-register the
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
    or
    CylanceOPTICS
    agents.
    The option to migrate a configuration was not available prior to
    CylanceHYBRID
    version 1.4.15.
    For more information, see Importing a CylanceHYBRID configuration.
    Install a new instance of
    CylanceHYBRID
    without migrating the settings from a previous instance.
    You can manually set up the a new instance of
    CylanceHYBRID
    version 2.x.
    However, to ensure that this new instance will properly manage your current devices without having to re-install on each device the
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
    agent, and (optionally) the
    CylanceOPTICS
    agent, you must configure the new server with the same settings, display name and installation key as the existing
    CylanceHYBRID
    1.x server.
