Chapter 4 – Updating and Removing SSH Sentinel
Updating SSH Sentinel
If you launch the installation package with a previous version of SSH Sentinel software on your
computer, the existing version is automatically updated. The contents (i.e., the policies, the rules,
the authentication keys, etc.) are preserved. Only the software version is updated.
Removing SSH Sentinel
Before removing the software, you are advised to do the following:
1. Export and save any data in the SSH Sentinel that you might need in the future. For example,
you might want to save the trusted root certificates for later use. Since removing the software will
delete all files related to the software, save the data in a separate folder.
2. Save all unsaved data in other applications and close all open applications.
To remove the software, use the standard Windows Remove Programs procedure:
1. Open Add/Remove Programs under Settings in the Start menu.
2. Select SSH Sentinel from the listing.
3. Complete the removal by restarting the computer.
You can re-install the software after completely removing it. Import the saved data to your security
policy after installation.
