Migration and Upgrade

Before upgrading, it's important to review the migration and upgrade considerations below.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 Upgrade/Installation Prerequisite

• Using the Setup Wizard - It is preferable for .NET Framework 4.8 to be installed on the Enterprise Manager Server machine before running Setup. If .NET Framework 4.8 is not present on the machine, Setup will prompt you to install it. This November require the machine to be rebooted when the installation completes.
• Silent Installation – The ISS file required for silently installing Enterprise Manager must be created on a machine that already has .NET 4.8 installed on it.
