OpManager 8.0 - Service Pack upgrade:

Since OpManager v8 uses MySQL v5 unlike older OpManager builds that use MySQL4, you will need to download both the PPMs listed below (Mandatory even for customers using MS SQL as backend). Please follow the instructions carefully.

Note: An end of support has been announced for OpManager Version 6.x and Version 7.x.

If you have OpManager with the NetFlow plugin,
please contact opmanager-support@manageengine.com for the upgrade.
