Upgrading This Module

If you have upgraded your existing installation to Security Manager 6.5 and have a previous version of this module installed, complete the following steps to upgrade this module.

To upgrade this module:

1. Open the Module Installer. Under Log Manager for IDS, the Module Installer lists both a Legacy and a non-Legacy version of the Tripwire Enterprise module.
2. Select both the Legacy and non-Legacy versions of this module and click Install. If you do not install the Legacy version of Tripwire Enterprise, two instances of Configure the module for Tripwire Enterprise will appear in the Support for IDS section of the Configuration Wizard. You will then have to open each instance to see which one is Legacy. When you install both versions, Security Manager renames Configuration Wizard links, existing rule groups, and documentation so you can easily distinguish between legacy items and new items, minimizing confusion.
