Summary
Learn the features you can use when migrating to IMSS 7.1 and settings that cannot be migrated.
Details
The IMSS installation program automatically upgrades from version 5.7 on the supported platform. When the installation program detects this version (5.7), it will:
- Uninstall the previous IMSS version
- Install IMSS version 7.x
- Migrate the existing settings
Note: If you choose not to migrate your old IMSS settings, we recommend completely uninstalling the previous IMSS version and then doing a fresh install of the latest version.
After upgrading to the latest version, you need to enter the Activation Codes (AC) to be able to use the following:
- Antivirus and Content Filter

To use Network Reputation Services (NRS), you must enter the AC during installation.
