    • Select Install the PAK file even if it is already installed. and Reset predefined content to a newer version provided by this update. and click Upload
    • Accept the EULA.
    • Click Finish when the upgrade Completes.
  • Log back on to the View Connection Server where the previous broker agent is installed.
