If your current version of EKM is 17.0, 17.1, or 17.2, follow the instructions in this section to upgrade EKM to version 18.2. Otherwise, if your current version of EKM is 18.0, refer to Upgrading from EKM 18.0 or 18.1 to EKM 18.2.

Before proceeding to Steps for Upgrading an EKM Server, familiarize yourself with the Variables and Common Commands that are used throughout the upgrade process, and carefully review the Prerequisites that must be fulfilled before performing an upgrade.
