Important Upgrade Considerations

Be aware of the following before upgrading:

5.x Policy Servers cannot communicate with 6.x policy stores.
6.x Policy Servers can use 5.x policy stores.
5.x Web Agents can communicate with 5.x and 6.x Policy Servers
To avoid possible policy store corruption, be sure that the server on which the policy store resides is configured to store objects in UTF-8 form. For more information about configuring your server to store objects in UTF-8 form, see the documentation for that server.
