Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 9 quick upgrade guide
1 About this guide
This guide tells you how to upgrade:
■
Enterprise Console from version 3.1 to version 4.0.
■
NAC Manager from version 3.1 to version 3.3.

does not have to be the same server on which you run Enterprise Console.

upgrade guide.
