Fix Required Before Upgrading CA Directory

To upgrade CA Directory on a Windows system, you must apply a license patch for CA Directory before beginning the upgrade procedure.

If you do not apply the patch, the upgrade procedure may remove license files which are required by other CA products.

You can download the patch on the CA Support site.

1. Log into the support.ca.com.

   The CA Support site opens.

2. Click Licensing in the list of links on the left side of the page.
3. Click License Package 1.8 is Now Available.

   A page opens that describes the changes to the License Package, and includes a link for downloading it.

4. Follow the instruction to download and install the Windows patch.

Note: You also need this patch if you plan to manually uninstall eTrust Directory r8.
