Upgrading from web security version 7.8.3 or earlier
Deployment and Installation Center | Web Protection Solutions | v7.8.3 and earlier
See the second table in
Upgrading Web Protection Solutions
to find out if your product can be directly upgraded to v8.3.x.
If your are upgrading from a version that does not support direct upgrade to v8.3.x, you can perform additional, intermediate upgrade steps. For example, the path might be:
v7.5 (Web Filter, software-only) > v7.7 > v8.0 > v8.3
v7.5 (Web Security Gateway) > v7.6 > v7.7 > v7.8.4 > v8.3
Policy information and most configuration details are preserved across intermediate upgrades.
Follow the upgrade instructions for each intermediate version, available from support.forcepoint.com:

Because hardware and operating system support has changed over time, the upgrade process for software (non-appliance) components is likely to require hardware and operating system updates. See
Migrating web solutions to a new operating system
for details.
If you are upgrading from a version prior to 7.5, given fundamental changes to software functionality, operating system support, and hardware requirements, the smoothest path to v8.3.x is to perform a fresh installation at the current version. See
Installing Web Protection Solutions
.
After upgrading to v7.8.4 or later, see the following start-to-finish PDF instructions to upgrade to v8.3.x:
