Upgrading Axon Agents
To upgrade a Tripwire Axon Agent, you must first complete the following steps:
| 1. | Download the latest Agent installer from the Tripwire Customer Center (TCC): |
https://tripwireinc.force.com/customers
| 2. | Extract the corresponding Axon Agent bundle file (e.g., axon-agent-bundle-tlc-msi-x64.tar.bz2) for your corresponding version to a folder of your choice. |
| 3. | Copy the bundle to the following directory: |
C:\<TLC_Manager_install_dir>\AgentInstallers\
|
Tip |
You do not need to extract the upgrade-axon-agent.bat file. This file is only needed to upgrade a VIA Agent to an Axon Agent. |
