Sophos Update Manager: upgrading from version 1 to version 2

This article describes how to upgrade from version 1 to version 2, of Sophos Update Manager.

What to do

On your computer, find and note the location of your central installation directory (CID). (To identify the CID; it comprises a directory called 'Sophos Anti-Virus' which contains another directory called 'ESOSX').
NOTE: If the existing CID is not located on the boot volume, you must move it to the boot volume, otherwise the upgrade will fail.
From the Sophos website, download Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac network installer.
Mount the Sophos Update Manager, version 2, dmg file.
Run the Sophos Anti-Virus Network.mpkg file.
During the installation you will be prompted to select the location of your CID (noted in step 1 above). You must install the upgrade to the same location as the CID 'Sophos Anti-Virus' directory.
Sophos Update Manager now updates the CID. All of your previous configuration options are retained in the CID.
Once you have completed the update, the Sophos Update Manager application can be located in the 'Applications' directory. (It is not retained in the same location as the CID.)
