I am trying to upgrade my VMware Authentication Manager 8.1 appliance to 8.2.1. When I download the 8.2 iso, it tells me that I need 8.1 SP1 to be installed. I can't find that download anywhere, except as a Hyper-V appliance. Anyone have advice on how to proceed with this?
Hi Erica.
OP, same as me, need the intermediate files for vmware to follow the mandated upgrade path (8.1.0 P x to 8.8.1.0 to 8.2.1 P01), not the final 8.2 files. Those are readily available but the other is not.
As the upgrade document says in the prerequisites section:
If the authentication server is currently running Authentication Manager 8.1, either with a base installation or Authentication Manager 8.1 with patches prior to SP1, install the Authentication Manager 8.1 SP1 upgrade patch prior to installing the latest patch for 8.1 SP1
I understand that the '8.1 SP1 upgrade patch' is the SP1 base file version 8.1.1.0.0. Is this correct?
Can you point us to the right place, please?. Thanks.
Regards.
Hi,
I think this is what you need. And SP1 is indeed 8.1.1

Hi Dave.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I really appreciate it. Yes that is the file that I managed to find some seconds ago so now we have solved the first step. Thanks for your pointer that confirms that the file I found is the right one.
Now I am in the quest for the AM 8.2.0.0 (not the SP1 file but the base file as stated in the three steps procedure to upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2 SPx:
RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 SP1
Existing RSA Authentication Manager (AM) 8.1 customers must perform a three-stage upgrade process. You must first patch your version to AM 8.1 SP1, then upgrade to AM 8.2. Once you have migrated to AM 8.2, you can then proceed to AM 8.2 SP1.

Hi everyone.
I tried to find some answers for my question regarding my issue, but was not successful.
1. If I want to go from 8.1.1 to 8.2.1. Do I need to save the licenses somewhere in case something went wrong and I want to fall back.
2. If yes Where I can find those licenses. and how to save them.
3. same question about the token licenses.
4. are all those licenses stored in the backup I am willing to take.
Cheers and Thanks.
