Hi All,  I have a single websense server running 6.3.1 Websense Enterprise. I would like to upgrade it to the newest version 7.1.0. 

Do I need to upgrade to version 7.0.1 first then to 7.1.0?

Can you give me detailed instructions in setting up this upgrade?

 

thanks,

Mike

Hi

I tried the links and they are all valid . Not sure what authentication you met. The following link will direct you to the upgrade center. try it and see whether you meet the same issue :
