same Network Agent used by the earlier version. The installer will also
automatically assign the same port numbers to the v6.3.2 Websense
components that the existing Websense components use.
The Websense Master Database will be removed during upgrade. You can
either download the new Master Database during upgrade of the Filtering
Service, or download it after the upgrade is complete by using Websense
Manager. When scheduling the upgrade, be aware that users will not be
filtered until the services are restarted and the new Master Database has been
successfully loaded. Depending on how your integration product is
configured to respond when Websense filtering is unavailable, traffic will
either be allowed unfiltered or blocked entirely during the upgrade.
Versions Supported
Direct upgrades from v6.1 or higher of Websense Enterprise or Web Security
Suite are supported. If you are running v5.2 or v5.5, an upgrade to v6.3.2
requires two steps: upgrade to v6.1 first, and then upgrade to v6.3.2.
To perform the intermediate upgrade to v6.1, you will need the v6.1 installer
for your product and operating system. Download the appropriate installer:
