Upgrading to 10.9.000005/33
This upgrade of Verify Privilege Vault is a two-step process where you first upgrade to version 10.9000005 and then to 10.9.000033. The reasoning behind this is to provide a safeguard that warns you if the new .NET system requirement is not met prior to the installation making irreversible changes, potentially resulting in a non-functioning Verify Privilege Vault installation. The second step to 10.9.000033 depends on the .NET update in the first step and deploys the new features for this release.
How Upgrades Work
Verify Privilege Vault periodically polls the update server to detect new updates. If the "Allow Automatic Checks for Software Updates" option is enabled in the Admin > Configuration menu, you will see the "An update is available (xx.x.xxxxxx)" link after logging in with an administrator account. The steps below can be used to perform an upgrade for versions 7.1.000015 and higher. If you have an older version of Verify Privilege Vault, please contact IBM Security technical support for assistance.
