Considerations before upgrading the management server and agent

Consider the following important points before you upgrade the management server and agent:

• If you are upgrading both the management server and the agent, first upgrade the management server, and then the agent.
• Upgrade of the Symantec Embedded Security: Critical System Protection management console is not supported. However, the management server and management console must be of the same version. Therefore, you must uninstall the existing management console, and then install that version of the management console which is the same as the management server version.
