This article applies to PRTG Network Monitor 19 or later

PRTG Update from Legacy Versions: PE252

If you use a PRTG version prior to PRTG 9, you will see this error message when trying to update to a current PRTG version:

The installer found a not directly updatable legacy version of PRTG. See http://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/65764 for further assistance or contact [email protected] (Error: PE252)

The update from older PRTG versions to current PRTG versions is not directly possible because the integrated database has to be converted first.

Follow the steps below to upgrade to the newest PRTG versions:

  1. Update to the latest PRTG 9 version as an intermediate step. To get this version, contact the Paessler Support Team and explain what you want to do. Also reference this Knowledge Base article (65764) because it will help our Support Team to understand your concern.
  2. From PRTG version 9, you can try to update to any current PRTG version. In the PRTG web interface, go directly to Setup | Auto-Update, or see the PRTG Manual: PRTG Status—Auto-Update.

Note: We recommend that you perform a clean install of the latest PRTG version. In any case, always keep a proper backup of your configuration and monitoring data.
