Avantra server upgrade path
Master Server version 20.2 and above
This upgrade is a single-step process for all Avantra servers greater than 20.2. Please note that the minimum supported agent version is 6.0.32 however we strongly urge customers to upgrade all agents to a minimum of 20.5.
- The upgrade is like applying a patch. For Linux, simply download the installer to the Avantra install directory (the directory with the "master" and "xangui" directories) and execute the installer. For Windows, simply run the installer as normal.
Note: the 20.2 version is out of support since recently. Our support specialists will guide the customers through the upgrade process should an issue arise.
