INTRODUCTION
This article describes the upgrade licensing process for Microsoft Antigen 9.0.



Scenario 1: Upgrading from Antigen 8.0 build 1517 to Antigen 9.0
When you upgrade from Sybari Antigen 8.0 to Antigen 9.0, follow these steps:  Purchase Antigen 9.0 at the Microsoft Volume Licensing Web site. Or, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/serversecurity/exchange/how-to-buy.mspx

 Download Antigen 9.0 from Microsoft Volume Licensing Web site. Run the Antigen 9.0 Setup.exe file that is included in the downloaded package to upgrade Antigen 8.0 to Antigen 9.0. Your settings from the Antigen 8.0 installation are saved.

Notes
 * Only upgrades from Antigen 8.0 build 1517 to Antigen 9.0 are supported. If you are running a build that is earlier than Antigen 8.0 build 1517, you must update to Antigen 8.0 build 1517 before you upgrade to Antigen 9.0.
 * The Antigen 9.0 installation package includes the license file. If you want to install Antigen 9.0, download the Antigen 9.0 installation package, and then run the Setup.exe file. The conditions for installing Antigen 9.0 differ from earlier installations of Antigen. These earlier installations of Antigen required a separate download of a License.cfg file and additional installation steps.

Scenario 2: Upgrading from a trial version or an evaluation version of Antigen 9.0 to a fully licensed version
When you upgrade from a trial version or an evaluation version of Antigen 9.0 to a fully licensed version, follow these steps:  Use your logon credentials to download the licensed copy of Antigen 9.0 from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Web site. If you do not know your logon credentials, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/serversecurity/exchange/how-to-buy.mspx

Or, send an e-mail message to the following e-mail address for help:

ffscc@microsoft.com

 Run the Setup.exe file.

The installation will recognize the existing trial installation and will use the fully licensed license file to prompt your existing evaluation license file. When you click Yes to the prompt, only the new license file is installed. A full reinstallation of Antigen 9.0 is not performed. Additionally, the previous configuration settings are saved.

Note In this scenario, it is assumed that a trial version or an evaluation version of Antigen 9.0 is installed on the server.
