Upgrade procedure for Forcepoint security solutions

When upgrading multiple Forcepoint components, you must upgrade them in the following order.

For information on upgrading systems that include standalone installations of data, email, or web protection solutions, refer to the Deployment and Installation Center.

Forcepoint Security Solutions v8.5 does not support dual-mode V Series appliances (that is, appliances that host Forcepoint Email Security and Forcepoint Web Security, or Forcepoint Email Security and Forcepoint URL Filtering). If you are upgrading a dual-mode appliance, see V Series Dual-Mode Appliance Upgrade Guide.

This procedure covers the steps required to upgrade either the all on-premises security solutions or Web and Email solutions (given that Email includes Data components).
