NTP server either on your network or on the Internet. For EncrypTight to function properly, all of the
elements of EncrypTight need to synchronize with NTP servers.

Upgrading to a New Version of EncrypTight
Prior to upgrading to a new version of EncrypTight, uninstall the previous version (see “Uninstalling
EncrypTight Software” on page 40). Previously installed third party software should be unaffected by an
upgrade of EncrypTight.
To learn how to preserve and transfer your appliance and policy data if you are upgrading from ETEMS
to EncrypTight, and for information about updating EncrypTight components to new versions, see
“Installing Software Updates” on page 73.

3 In the Microsoft Windows Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.
