Please be aware of the following Known Issues when updating or installing the Release Candidate. Visit the Known Issues page for a full list.

• Installation – Upgrading from Beta 5.0.103 to RC 5.0.104.0 is not possible due to the product name changes.
  SOLUTION: Uninstall Beta before installing RC.
• Installation – Error notification “Selected server port is not available. Please select a different port.”
  SOLUTION: Ensure that prior to installation launch the ports are not used by any other server-type application. Once the installer detects that the ports are occupied and shows the warning, you cannot go one step back in the installation process or press the button for repeated port testing after confirming the warning. Confirm the warning and continue with the installation by clicking ‘Next’.
• Conflict – “Web control is filtering only partially” message occurs when updating from an ERA mirror only without valid credentials entered in the Endpoint.
