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 a Netwrix Engineer has made any customizations, ensure you preserve the custom work during the upgrade process. The Upgrade Wizard archives customizations before solution upgrades. These archives are available after the solution upgrades finish. Contact Netwrix Support for additional information.

Considerations​

Multiple Enterprise Auditor Consoles Connecting to the Same Database

In environments where multiple Enterprise Auditor Consoles use the same SQL Server database, you must also update every console using the database. Connecting an Enterprise Auditor Console with a newer version to a database updates the database’s schema according to the new definition. If an Enterprise Auditor Console with an older version connects to the same database after you update the schema, 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 2025 are the supported versions for the Enterprise Auditor database.

Granting access to additional Solutions in an existing Enterprise Auditor installation requires a new license key. 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.
