Upgrading to Axigen X7 on Linux or Windows
- Download the corresponding package from the downloads section.
- Stop the Axigen service.
- Create a backup of the Axigen working directory (see how to back up Axigen).
- The X7 package is an installer; run it and follow the instructions:
- Linux (RPM):
dnf install <path>/axigen....x86_64.rpm - Linux (DEB):
apt install <path>/axigen....x86_64.deb - Windows: run the Axigen MSI
- Linux (RPM):
- Start the Axigen service.
Upgrading to Axigen X7 on Docker
- Stop the container:
docker stop <container_id> - Create a backup of the working directory.
- Remove the container:
docker rm <container_id> - Create a new instance:
docker run --pull=always --name=axigen -dt -v <volume>:/axigen/var -p 443:443 -p 9443:9443 -p 993:993 -p 995:995 -p 25:25 -p 465:465 -p 9000:9000 -p 7000:7000 axigen/axigen
Enabling the Axigen Mobile Apps (new license required)
To offer the new native iOS and Android apps to your end users, you need both:
- Axigen X7, and
- a license that includes the Mobile Apps add-on.
If your current license does not include it, request an updated license — it will be emailed directly to the license holder. After applying the new license in WebAdmin, enable mobile apps for the WebMail service (Mobile Apps support is off by default). The add-on is enforced server-wide and has its own expiry date.
Important Notes and Upgrade Information
- Clean, in-place upgrade. No storage migration, index rebuild, or mailbox conversion is required, and your existing configuration is carried over automatically.
- Back up first. Once a server has started on X7, its storage can no longer be downgraded to X6.
- OpenSSL 3.5. Diffie-Hellman parameters are automatically upgraded to 2048-bit on first start. If you rely on legacy clients or custom cipher lists, re-test your TLS configuration after upgrading.
- Mobile apps require strict SSL certificate validation. Ensure your server uses a valid, properly configured SSL certificate with correct hostname matching and the complete certificate chain. Self-signed or misconfigured certificates will prevent the apps from connecting.
- Supported versions. In accordance with our EULA, we provide full support for the two latest major versions: Axigen X7 (10.7.x) and Axigen X6 (10.6.x).
