  2. Stop the Axigen service.
  3. Create a backup of the Axigen working directory using the suggestions in our related knowledge base article: https://www.axigen.com/kb/show/158
  4. NOTE: For a restoring process of Axigen consult our article at: https://www.axigen.com/kb/show/161
  5. Please note that the downloaded Axigen X2 Update 2 package is an installer. Run the installer and follow the on-screen installer instructions to complete the upgrade process.

If you have an in-place integration with MimeDefang or a similar tool for TNEF decoding, we strongly recommend you to disable that filter before upgrading to Axigen X2 Update 2.
