Upgrading from an Earlier Version of Sentinel LDK

Instructions for upgrading from earlier versions of Sentinel LDK can be found in the Sentinel LDK Installation Guide.

Considerations when upgrading Sentinel LDK:

> When upgrading to Sentinel LDK 8.3 from Sentinel LDK v.7.3 through v.7.8, all non-English locales of Customer contacts and Channel Partner contacts in Sentinel LDK-EMS are converted to the English locale. If this issue is applicable to your installation of Sentinel LDK-EMS, make sure to read this technical note before upgrading to Sentinel LDK 8.3.

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 EMS.

> The procedure for upgrading to Sentinel LDK 8.3 has been tested only for Sentinel LDK v.7.10 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 Tools, Sentinel EMS, or both.)
