Upgrading From Earlier Versions

This section describes how to upgrade to Sentinel LDK 10.0 from an earlier version of Sentinel LDK, Sentinel HASP or HASP SRM.

Upgrade considerations:

>When upgrading from Sentinel LDK versions 7.3 through 7.8 to Sentinel LDK 10.0, all non-English locales of Customer contacts and Channel Partner contacts in Sentinel LDK-EMS are converted to the English locale. A solution for this issue is provided in the technical note available here.

NOTE   You can ignore this issue if all of your Customer contacts and Channel Partner Contacts are set up to use the English locale or if you are not upgrading Sentinel LDK-EMS.

>The procedure for upgrading to Sentinel LDK v.10.0 has only been tested for Sentinel LDK versions 8.4 and later.

If you plan to upgrade from an earlier version of Sentinel LDK, please contact Technical Support to validate the upgrade scenario. (This applies whether you are upgrading Sentinel LDK Vendor Suite, Sentinel LDK-EMS, or both.)

>After you complete an upgrade of Sentinel LDK-EMS, the file server.xml includes only TLS version 1.2 as the acceptable cryptographic protocol. This version of TLS is more secure than earlier versions.

If you included TLS version 1.0 or 1.1 as an acceptable protocol until now and you want to retain that version, you must modify server.xml manually.

NOTE   The TLS 1.0 and 1.1 cryptographic protocols have known vulnerabilities. Thales highly recommends that you not add TLS 1.0 or 1.1 as an acceptable protocol.

For more information, see Retaining TLS 1.0 or 1.1 as an Acceptable Protocol.
