Enterprise Auditor Console Upgrade

Enterprise Auditor 11.6 uses the Upgrade Wizard. For upgrades from versions of Enterprise Auditor that are no longer supported, contact Netwrix Support for assistance.

NOTE: If any customizations have been done by a Netwrix Engineer, please ensure custom work is not lost during the upgrade process. While using the Upgrade Wizard, customizations are archived prior to solution upgrades. These archives are available after the solution upgrades have been completed. Contact Netwrix Support for additional information.

The purpose of this document is to provide the basic steps needed for upgrading Enterprise Auditor and the stock solutions. Contact Netwrix Support for additional information.

See the What's New topic for release information.

Considerations

Multiple Enterprise Auditor Consoles Connecting to the Same Database

In environments where multiple Enterprise Auditor Consoles are using the same SQL Server database, every console using the database must also be updated. The act of connecting a Enterprise Auditor Console with a newer version to a database updates the database’s schema pursuant to the new definition. If a Enterprise Auditor Console with an older version connects to the same database after the schema has been updated, corruption to Enterprise Auditor’s system tables can result.

SQL Server Supported Version Change for the Enterprise Auditor Database

With the release of Enterprise Auditor v11.6, SQL Server 2016 through SQL Server 2022 are the supported versions for the Enterprise Auditor database.

To grant access to additional Solutions in an existing Enterprise Auditor installation, a new license key is required. To update the Enterprise Auditor license key without installing a new version of the Enterprise Auditor Console, see the Update License Key topic for instructions.
