This section describes how to install and upgrade IME, and how to migrate data from IEV or a previous 
version of IME.

You can use IME 6.2 or 7.0 to monitor 6.2(1)E3 sensors.

If you have a version of Cisco IPS Event Viewer installed, the Install wizard prompts you to remove it 
before installing IME. 

IME event monitoring is also supported in IOS-IPS versions that support the Cisco IPS 5.x/6.x signature 
format. We recommend IOS-IPS 12.4(15)T4 if you intend to use IME to monitor an IOS IPS device. 
Some of the new IME functionality including health monitoring is not supported.

Do not install IME on top of existing installations of CSM. You must uninstall CSM before installing 
IME. Do not install CSM on top of existing installations of IME.

Observe the following when installing or upgrading IME:

You can install IME over all versions of IME but not over IEV. All alert database and user settings 
are preserved.

IME detects previous versions of IEV and prompts you to manually remove the older version before 
installing IME or to install IME on another system. The installation program then stops.

Make sure you close any open instances of IME before upgrading to a new version of IME. 

Disable any anti-virus or host-based intrusion detection software before beginning the installation, 
and close any open applications. The installer spawns a command shell application that may trigger 
your host-based detection software, which causes the installation to fail. 

You must be administrator to install IME.
