Upgrading Forcepoint F1E

For information about upgrading Forcepoint F1E, see the Upgrade Guide for Forcepoint F1E.

You do not need to uninstall earlier Forcepoint F1E versions before installing v21.09 if you are upgrading from the following versions:

  • Forcepoint DLP Endpoint v8.5.x, v18.x, v19.x, v20.x, or v21.x
  • Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint v8.4.x, v8.5.x, v19.x, v20.x, or v21.x
  • Forcepoint ECA 19.04.860 or later v19 release, v20.x, or v21.x
Note:
  • If your Forcepoint F1E version is earlier, Forcepoint recommends that you upgrade to one of the above versions before upgrading to v21.09, or uninstall the earlier version before you install this Forcepoint F1E version.
  • Only one type of Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint can be installed on an endpoint machine. Forcepoint Web Security Direct Connect Endpoint cannot be installed on an endpoint machine with Forcepoint Web Security Proxy Connect Endpoint installed.
  • If you currently have the Proxy Connect Endpoint installed, but want to install Direct Connect Endpoint (or vice versa), you must uninstall Proxy Connect Endpoint before installing Direct Connect Endpoint.
  • If you are upgrading from the conventional Forcepoint ECA (v1.4 or earlier) to this version of Forcepoint ECA, you must uninstall the conventional agent before installing this Forcepoint ECA version.
