Getting Started

To upgrade your components on Windows after backing up your files with WSBackup, download and launch the latest TRITON installation package, WebsenseTRITON767Setup.exe. Use this same package even if you are upgrading Email Security components to v7.6.7 and Data Security components to 7.6.8.

The latest installer always upgrades your software to the newest version (if not already upgraded).

Using the latest TRITON installer, you upgrade existing Data Security software to v7.6.8.

Existing Email Security software upgrades to v7.6.7

Existing Web Security software upgrades to v7.6.7.

If you are already on the latest Data and Email security version, the installer upgrades only Web security.

This is the same executable used for scratch installations. To obtain the installer package, visit the Websense Downloads site:

www.websense.com/MyWebsense/Downloads/

The installation package detects if earlier versions of the product are installed, and automatically starts a series of upgrade wizards—one for each of the installed components.

For upgrades to Linux components, back up the files with WSBackup and then download and use WebsenseWeb767Setup_Lnx.tar.gz.
